Use LibreOffice for PDF conversion

LibreOffice is a separate product and comes with its own license.

One can use it to convert from odt (output from MDriven report) to docx and pdf, and also from ods(output from MDriven report) to xlsx and pdf.

Requires install of LibreOffice on the server running Turnkey.

I suggest you uncheck Online Update etc. - your server may be locked down for access to the internet and trying to auto update will cause erratic behavior.

Once you have it installed, I recommend you turn off Java support - this will speed up per document load time significantly.

  1. Open the Options dialog using “Alt + F12.”
  2. In the sidebar, select “LibreOffice,” then “Advanced.”
  3. Uncheck the “Use Java runtime environment” option.
  4. Click “OK” to close the dialog.

You must give the install path - it will look something like this: C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe.

Set this in SysMDrivenMiscSettingsSingleton.LibreOfficeInstallPathAndExe. Read more on using SysDocBatch for document conversion.
