Yes but I like the idea of having a convertor based on the open office code. The PDF output of OO is very nice.
BTW, it would be great to have a plugin that runs the OO conversion in the same machine but also a plugin that would call into a REST api to a server that would manage a conversion queue. You will need the conversion queue anyway because you might have problems if you run multiple conversions at the same time Ludovic Vincent Massol wrote: > On Jun 4, 2008, at 7:30 PM, Ludovic Dubost wrote: > > >> I agree, >> >> First you need to package your code as an XWiki plugin that can be >> called. >> This plugin should have as many conversion possibilities. >> >> doc or office -> xhtml >> xls -> xhtml >> doc -> openoffice >> openoffice ->doc >> doc -> pdf >> html -> pdf >> etc.. >> > > hmm not sure.
