This is possible, and I've got it working (for smaller PDF-Documents...)

at first you need to install the pdf-converter for openoffice it is an extension that will be found there http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport

Then you need to edit the file ssf.properties wich is located at your tomcat installation directory at webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config

There you set

(line 734) openoffice.convert.index.2.extensions=.odg,.pdf

restart your kablink server and also your openoffice as bg-process then indexing pdf-Files should work.

at least it does it here ...

I've entered bug 665877 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665877) to document how to add PDF support to Kablink Vibe OnPrem.

Hi,

It works fine on my server, only if I stop soffice and then start it again with the boot parameters.

I continue to investigate this weird behaviour....

Cheers,

Hey,

It works fine with OO started in the boot sequence if the pdf import plugin is installed for ALL users:

sh /opt/openoffice.org3/program/unopkg add --shared oracle-pdfimport.oxt

Enjoy,

Laurent

Herein is the error I encounter in the logs after having followed the steps given above. Have followed each step carefully.

This really sounds like a permissions problem.

Are you running the OO converter process as the SAME user that you're running Vibe?  If not, both the user running OO and the user Vibe is running as MUST have full R/W/X permission to Vibe's data directories.

It is the same user as is evident from this :

iaserver:~ # ll /opt/kablink/teaming/data/
