Install Open Office on HP-UX (to create PDF files)

[rmce]

Hi there!

Somebody has some experience of how to deploy OOo (OpenOffice) in a HP-UX in service mode?

I would like to convert MS Office files (*.doc, *.ppt, *.xls, *.rtf ), *.html, OpenDocument format, etc.. to PDF and for that I am using OOo as service, for example:


soffice -headless -accept="socket,port=8100;urp;"


All the commentaries are welcome

Thanks a lot!

Shalom,

You will need to compile the source.

I'm quite interested to hear if anybody gets this working in HP-UX

When You say it, is because You are not sure?

They say that there are some troubles about compilation.

Any comments?

Well, this sounds clear:

"There is a cerain demand for doing a port e.g. for HP/UX. AIX, OS/2 etc.
At the moment there are no efforts visible for such a port. Create one ! "

Do it!
