Would FF work with LibreOffice?

Just need to be included in the documentation.

Thanks!

added a FURTHER INFORMATION section in README.txt for issues like that
what I found in README.txt is

FURTHER INFORMATION
-------------------
ISSUE http://drupal.org/node/1105122 - Would FF work with LibreOffice?

Looks like a circular definition, not really useful.
Apart from the fact that OpenOffice changes hands and becomes a unrecommended choice, Libreoffice is known to much better handle file conversion than Openoffice.

I actually often observe erratic conversion : need to re-run conversion, reload files, clear failed conversion... Uploading more than one file at a time generally result in failed conversion. Maybe Libreoffice would improve that?

How one can practically switch from Openoffice to Libreoffice?

Thanks

What is the rational for changing jodconverter to pyodconverter?
is the later dedicated to Libreoffice?
Thank you for grasping this issue

I confirm that Libreoffice works with FF without any change.
Just take care of the proper path installation for Jodconverter.
However, it needs some attention to properly run Libreoffice Headless.

Because no doc is available for this module and external pages get lost with time, here is the short indications for installing the libreoffice stuff ((Ubuntu 12.04 LTS):

Install fileinfo if your system has not yet it already (Note : I did not need that, it is in PHP 5.3)

apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:guilhem-fr/swftools
apt-get update
apt-get install swftools
apt-get install unrtf poppler-utils catdoc
add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-2
apt-get update
apt-get install libreoffice
apt-get install libreoffice-common
mkdir /jodconverter
cd /jodconverter
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/jodconverter/files/JODConverter/2.2.2/jo...
unzip jodconverter-2.2.2.zip
add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg && sudo apt-get update -qq
apt-get install ffmpeg
apt-get install catdoc
apt-get install unrtf
apt-get install pdftotext
apt-get insta pstotext
apt-get install poppler-utils
apt-get install tesseract-ocr
apt-get install convert
apt-get install imagemagick

ghostscript was already ther or installed in the process

This is the script called "libreoffice-server-headless-lsb-initscript" that works for me

You'll need to enable this script as a service - see ubuntu documentation.
Then type
service libreoffice-server-headless-lsb-initscript start
Look at your server if libroffice is runnin.
Check at the next reboot if it still runs
