• Documentation: The JODConverter documentation (work in progress) can be found here.
• Examples: A dedicated repository with sample projects can be found here.
• Dependencies:
  • jodconverter-local module dependencies.
  • jodconverter-remote module dependencies.
  • jodconverter-spring module dependencies.
  • jodconverter-spring-boot-starter module dependencies.
• Tests: JODConverter is supposed to work just fine on recent versions of Windows, MacOS and Unix/Linux. Any confirmation would be welcome, so we could build a list of official supported OS distributions.

Usage for local conversions

Build default, JODConverter is built using the OpenOffice libraries. See here to know why. But you can now decide whether you want to use JODConverter with the LibreOffice libraries or the OpenOffice libraries.

With LibreOffice libraries:

Gradle:

implementation 'org.jodconverter:jodconverter-local-lo:4.4.8'

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jodconverter</groupId>
  <artifactId>jodconverter-local-lo</artifactId>
  <version>4.4.8</version>
</dependency>

With OpenOffice libraries:

Gradle:

implementation 'org.jodconverter:jodconverter-local:4.4.8'

or

implementation 'org.jodconverter:jodconverter-local-oo:4.4.8'

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jodconverter</groupId>
  <artifactId>jodconverter-local</artifactId>
  <version>4.4.8</version>
</dependency>

or

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jodconverter</groupId>
  <artifactId>jodconverter-local-oo</artifactId>
  <version>4.4.8</version>
</dependency>

Building the Project

Credits...

Here are my favorite/inspiration forks/projects:

• documents4j project: Nice choice if you want 100% perfect conversion using MS Office. But work only on Windows out of the box (Local implementation) and not totally free (since MS Office is not free). The new "job" package is strongly inspired by this project.

Original JODConverter

JODConverter (Java OpenDocument Converter) automates document conversions using LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org.
