Libreconv

Convert office documents using LibreOffice / OpenOffice to one of their supported formats.

Build Status Gem Version

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'libreconv'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install libreconv

Usage

You need to install LibreOffice or OpenOffice on your system to use this gem. The code has been tested with LibreOffice 6.1.3.

require 'libreconv'

# Converts document.docx to my_document_as.pdf
# This requires that the soffice binary is present in your PATH.
Libreconv.convert('document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents/my_document_as.pdf')

# Converts document.docx to pdf and writes the output to the specified path
# This requires that the soffice binary is present in your PATH.
Libreconv.convert('document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents')

# You can also convert a source file directly from an URL
Libreconv.convert('http://myserver.com/123/document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents/doc.pdf')

# You cal pass a URL with GET params like this S3 example
Libreconv.convert('https://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/myserver/123/document.docx?X-Amz-Expires=456&X-Amz-Signature=abc', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents/doc.pdf')

# Converts document.docx to document.pdf
# If you for some reason can't have soffice in your PATH you can specify the file path to the soffice binary
Libreconv.convert('document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents', '/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice')

# Converts document.docx to my_document_as.html
Libreconv.convert('document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents/my_document_as.html', nil, 'html')

# Converts document.docx to my_document_as.pdf using writer_pdf_Export filter
Libreconv.convert('document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents/my_document_as.pdf', nil, 'pdf:writer_pdf_Export')

Development
