In SkyVault, you can transform a document from one format to another, for example, a
text file to a PDF file. To have access to these transformation facilities in SkyVault, you
must install LibreOffice. This is optional, and can be done any time after SkyVault is
installed.
- Browse to the LibreOffice download site: LibreOffice download site
- Download the latest (stable) version of LibreOffice for your platform.
- When prompted, specify a download destination.
- Browse to the location of your downloaded file, and install the application.
-
Change the installation directory to:
- (Windows) c:\Alfresco\LibreOffice
- (Linux) /opt/alfresco/LibreOffice
If you are installing LibreOffice on Linux, you also need a number of libraries to be installed. See Installing Linux libraries manually for more information.
-
Modify the ooo.exe= property in the
<classpathRoot>/alfresco-global.properties file to point to the
LibreOffice application libreoffice.app.
Note: For Windows, set the path using the \\ separator or use the forward slash / Unix path separator. For example: c:\\Alfresco\\LibreOffice\\libreoffice.app or c:/Alfresco/LibreOffice/libreoffice.app.
- If the SkyVault server is running, stop and restart the server.
