Hi all,
I'd certainly be happy to add XWiki to the list of other open source
projects that use JODConverter and provide suggestions if needed.
I see you mention xhtml... well the OOo xhtml filter is quite limited
currently. For one it doesn't export embedded images[1]. But it's going to
see big improvements with OOo 3.0.
You may also be interested to know that there's a new major version of
JODConverter[2] in development.
Cheers
Mirko

Cool ! I'm glad I could be of help ! Mirko will
be happy to know you are
working with his code. Putting him on copy.

Thanks Luis,
This is indeed exactly what we need.. a web service and a java API at
the same time
Wang you should use this.. expose it as an XWiki plugin with a
configuration option to run embed or connect to an existing web service.
My idea is that we ship XWiki configured by default to talk to a server
that we would host on our platform.

skype : kaaloo Hi everyone,
Sorry to pop in, but I imagine you are aware of Mirko's JODConverter and
JODReports:
http://www.artofsolving.com/
If not I thought it might be useful in the context of your discussion.
His
code is used by Nuxeo, Alfresco, and others and
is very simple to use.
JODCOnverter plugs into OO running in server mode.
Good luck,
Luis

I think we should make the PDF export a secondary priority and get the
rest working for now. Let's revisit it when all the rest is working
fine.
Thanks
