My development environment is OS X 10.10.5 using MAMP Pro and the test site is running as the default localhost site. I have installed the corporate package and have LibreOffice 4.4.5 installed My config file looks like this: ; libreoffice or openoffice method = "libreoffice" ; libreoffice installation path, absolute path path = "/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice" when I run the following in terminal it works just fine: Davids-MBP:MacOS davidbuchholz$ ./soffice --invisible --convert-to pdf /Users/davidbuchholz/Sites/datatags-development/phpdocx_corp_5/examples/FormatConversion/transformDocument/example_text.docx but when I try to run examples/FormatConversion/transformDocument/sample_1.php in the browser I get the docx file created but then it just sits there with no pdf output Any idea what the issue could be and how to resolve ? Thanks.

I just noticed that I get a error pop up on screen as follows: The application cannot be started. An internal error occurred. Apologies this was hidden under all the other windows that were open. Does this mean that I cannot use LibreOffice locally to test ?

And finally when I close that error message I get the following PHP error shown on the page: Warning: rename(./example_text.pdf,example_text.pdf) [function.rename]: No such file or directory in /Users/davidbuchholz/Sites/datatags-development/phpdocx_corp_5/classes/TransformDocAdvLibreOffice.inc on line 93

Hello, Please follow the steps explained on: http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin/debugging-libreoffice Check that LibreOffice is not running in the background and run the included example using the PHP CLI mode. The most common issue working with a web server is that the .config folder of the web user has no rw access. Regards.
