OK, so definitions in the related extension points control what can be transformed and what should be used to transform - this I can understand. What I'm not getting, however, is what causes one of these transformations to happen?
You could use DocumentModifier (nuxeo-platform-modifier) that is used to start a transformation using an apropriate transformation plugin.
I would expect that, if I add a document to Nuxeo who's mime type matches one defined under the 'org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.transform.service.TransformService' extension point 'plugins', that there would be something like a 'Transform' tab in Nuxeo. I would then expect to select the type of document to transform to and a 'Transform' button to initiate the actual transform. Then, either the transformed document is shown in this tab for people to download and use, or the transformed documents ends up as another document living next to the original in the workspace.

Is this correct?

Also, is there any kind of documentation on what needs to be set up for the predefined transformations to work? I notice there is a requirement on Open Office Server (that I assume performs the actual transformation), but there seems to be no information on how to set this up. For example, what is the end-to-end process to get the PDF transformation to work?

Hello,
you can do a repeated search on "transform" on this index, you'll find all the related extension points plus some explanations :
http://public.dev.nuxeo.com/~lgodard/nxpointdoc/_index_extension_points.html

as a complelment, in nuxeo-platform-transform-plugins/src/main/resources you have an exemple of a WORDML transformation plugin

If you take time, you 'll also find somewhere all the registerd transformation plugin (se the contribution link of the previous doc for instance), maybe you will find what you look for.

Craig Pugsley a écrit :
We'd really like to figure out how to get document transformation working in Nuxeo. Ideally, we would like to understand the framework in Nuxeo for document transformation and get hold of an example of how to define a transformation. We're especially interested in understanding how to transform from a Word document to something more malleable, for example XML or a Nuxeo Note document.

Thanks for your time.
