Trying to convert ppt to pdf using libreoffice ---headless -convert- topdf with php script
Solution 1
Well, I can see that you typed "-convert-to pdf" instead of "--convert-to-pdf". Maybe you did a similar typo in your php script? Hard to say without seeing the PHP code, though.
Please provide details: how do you call libreoffice from PHP, what do the error logs say etc.
Finally, if you are running SElinux and not Ubuntu, please take the question to a SELinux forum.
Solution 2
you are missing the filter name
This is the general format of convert-to (noting that on windows the parameter is :
-convert-to
not --convert-to
soffice --headless --convert-to <TargetFileExtension>:<NameOfFilter> file_to_convert.xxx
Use the link to look for the filter names in the .xcu files.
For example, I wanted to convert to Excel 95 format so I found the MS_Excel_95.xcu filter and inside it has a name:
<node oor:name="MS Excel 95" oor:op="replace">
...
I could then try it out:
soffice --headless --convert-to xls:"MS Excel 95" filename.xlsx
(I needed this to get a non-xml version of an excel file)
