Configuration

 The following only apply up until version 10.11.9 after which the jodconverter was updated to version 4.2.4 and such customization on document-formats no longer work as before.

The office macro uses the office server to convert presentation slides into images. By default these images are not very large. If you want to configure the image dimensions and other stuff you'll have to copy document-formats.js from the jodconverter jar to WEB-INF/classes and edit it. For instance, if you want the slide images to have 1024px width you have to change this line:

"PRESENTATION": {"FilterName": "impress_html_Export"},

with

"PRESENTATION": {"FilterName": "impress_html_Export", "FilterData": {"Width": 1024}},

You can also control the compression level / quality of the generated images:

"PRESENTATION": {"FilterName": "impress_html_Export", "FilterData": {"Quality": 90, "Width": 1024}},

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

The OpenOffice Server needs to be configured and started in order for this macro to work. See the prerequisites for the Office Importer Application for instructions.
