Hi devs,

Currently, the office importer module doesn't expose any configuration 
options for the office document conversion. Most of the available 
parameters are used to control the connection to the open office server.

Office importer module uses jodconverter ( 
http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/ ) to convert from different 
office document formats to HTML. The conversion is controlled by a 
"document format registry". jodconverter provides two 
DocumentFormatRegistry implementations:

* a default implementation, that can be configured only 
programmatically; this is the one we're currently using

* an implementation that reads the configuration from a JSON file; this 
is easy to overwrite by putting a document-formats.js file (with the 
JSON configuration) in /WEB-INF/classes/

I'd like to change the office import module to use the JSON document 
format registry if possible (i.e. document-formats.js is present and can 
be parsed) otherwise the default document format registry.

This will allow us to control, for instance, the size of the images 
generated when importing/viewing a presentation (the default size is 
640x480 which is not enough if you have slides with a lot of information).

Do you think this is worth introducing in 2.7 or should I wait for 3.0?

Thanks,
Marius
