I created this fork years ago because I had to do some changes to the original project and decided to share my work with the community.

What you want to know...

  • Documentation: The JODConverter documentation (work in progress) can be found here.
  • Dependencies:
    • jodconverter-local module dependencies. This fork does not depend on SIGAR. JODConverter only needs to retrieve office processes (PIDs) and kill office processes (using PID). It should work just fine without SIGAR with the actual process managers created from an older version of JODConverter. But I added the ability to use any process manager you would like to implement if none of the provided managers can be used. See the processManager configuration option.
    • jodconverter-remote module dependencies.
    • jodconverter-spring module dependencies.
    • jodconverter-spring-boot-starter module dependencies.
  • Tests: JODConverter is supposed to work just fine on recent versions of Windows, MacOS and Unix/Linux. Any confirmation would be welcome so we could build a list of official supported OS distributions.

Usage for local conversions

Build default, JODConverter is built using the OpenOffice libraries. See here to know why. But you can now decide whether you want to use JODConverter with the LibreOffice libraries or the OpenOffice libraries.

With LibreOffice libraries:

Gradle:

implementation 'org.jodconverter:jodconverter-local-lo:4.4.4'

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jodconverter</groupId>
  <artifactId>jodconverter-local-lo</artifactId>
  <version>4.4.4</version>
</dependency>

With OpenOffice libraries:

Gradle:

implementation 'org.jodconverter:jodconverter-local:4.4.4'

or

implementation 'org.jodconverter:jodconverter-local-oo:4.4.4'

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jodconverter</groupId>
  <artifactId>jodconverter-local</artifactId>
  <version>4.4.4</version>
</dependency>

or

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jodconverter</groupId>
  <artifactId>jodconverter-local-oo</artifactId>
  <version>4.4.4</version>
</dependency>

Credits...

Here are my favorite/inspiration forks/projects:

  • documents4j project: Nice choice if you want 100% perfect conversion using MS Office. But work only on Windows out of the box (Local implementation) and not totally free (since MS Office is not free). The new "job" package is strongly inspired by this project.

Original JODConverter

JODConverter (Java OpenDocument Converter) automates document conversions using LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org.

Donations

If this project helps you, please consider a donation. I have to pay for the jodconverter web site (domain and hosting) every year. I also sit on my chair in front of a monitor a lot instead of being outside drinking a 🍺 to improve this project 😃. Thanks!! ❤️
