I'm having an issue trying to convert DOC/DOCX to PDF programmatically. I'm following this answer. I'm using PyODConverter as mentioned in the answer above. I asked my web hosting to install OpenOffice and so they did, so when I ran whereis soffice it gave me /usr/bin/soffice. So, I have this piece of code: adocpdf filename=$1 extension=$2 SERVICE='soffice' if [ "`ps ax|grep -v grep|grep -c $SERVICE`" -lt 1 ]; then unset DISPLAY /usr/bin/soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard & sleep 5s fi python /home/[MYSITE]/public_html/docpdf/DocumentConverter.py /home/[MYSITE]/public_html/docpdf/$filename$extension /home/[MYSITE]/public_html/docpdf/$filename.pdf index.php <?php $filename = "teste"; $extension = ".doc"; $output = array(); $return_var = 0; exec("/home/[MYSITE]/public_html/docpdf/adocpdf {$filename} {$extension}", $output, $return_var); print_r($output); print($return_var); ?> My folder structure After executing my php code, the output is the following, being Array() the $output and 1 the $return_var Array ( ) 1 I don't know much about python, and I really need this to work! Edit 1: I ran `exec('pydoc modules') and it gave me this output: Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...
