DOC[x] to PDF - MS Word required (and I have LibreOffice)

Post by zarkogajic »

Hi Support,

I have LibreOffice and can open/create and edit (and print) MS Office DOC[X] documents.

Trying to open a DOC with Editor will result in:

Is there a way to "force" PDFX Editor to use the associated application, LibreOffice, for the task?

Hi, zarkogajic

Unfortunately no, we require MS Office to be installed for these functions to be used, as we rely on certain specific actions and formatting as MS Office understands and outputs. They do not need to be the default applications, so you can continue to use LibreOffice as your default, but they will need to be installed.

Kind regards,
