Hi Dmitry, how are you doing? Maybe I can help on some of your questions.
"Do I understand right that OpenOffice is used just to convert formats? In what format are documents translated?" The current process for importing documents of OpenOffice (LibreOffice) compatible files (.doc, .ppt, .xls, .docx, ...) is: (1) Convert the file to a PDF using OpenOffice [while we only trigger JODConverter that forwards the our document then to OpenOfice] (2) Convert the PDF to a thumbnail of every page using ImageMagick+GhostScript (3) Convert the PDF to a SWF with SWFTools.
