Jaime, I may learn something here, but I understood that soffice is still used for the conversion, and that JODConverter uses soffice to do the conversion. If this is not the case, is there a way to select which will do the conversion?
If I am wrong, when others respond to your question, I will learn further. I have found that the document conversion for PowerPoint 2007 .pptx files is not great and so I always save out to PDF from PowerPoint and then upload the PDF file, then OpenMeetings uses SWFTools' pdf2swf for the conversion and so text with font and layout looks much more like the original PowerPoint presentation. I always use /etc/init.d/red5 script to start and stop both soffice and red5 services. And to check the status of the running services. Regards, George. -----Original Message----- From: Jaime Balbino [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 24 May 2012 11:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: soffice and red5 daemon Hi, There is one thing I do not understand. When I run the script "red5.sh &" in the main directory I do not need soffice. But when I use the "/ etc/init.d/red5 the" soffice runs as daemon and can not be disabled so that the text conversion to work. The soffice daemon is no longer necessary because of JODConverter. Why keep it inside the daemon red5?
