Converting docx to pdf via JODConverter and LibreOffice causes error

Question

I have 1000 .docx files that I want to convert to pdf so I have written a program to do this, but I can never get through all 1000 files before an error is thrown. I start a headless version of LibreOffice using `soffice --headless --accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=2002;urp;"`. I am using LibreOffice 4.2.0.4 and JODConverter 2.2.2. This is my conversion code (prior to this I just iterate all the .docx files in a directory): ``` try { File inputFile = new File(sourceFile); if (!inputFile.exists()) { return -1; } File outputFile = new File(destFile); OpenOfficeConnection connection = new SocketOpenOfficeConnection(host_Str, Integer.parseInt(port_Str)); connection.connect(); DocumentConverter converter = new OpenOfficeDocumentConverter(connection); converter.convert(inputFile, outputFile); connection.disconnect(); return 0; } catch (ConnectException e) { System.out.println("Openoffice listener exception!"); return 1; } ``` I can always convert at least 50 files or so before an error i…

I'm working with PHP and using the python script to convert and I faced a problem similar to yours, I had errorCode 283 and SfxBaseModel::impl_store failed: 0x11b.

I have an Apache server that runs with apache user and a regular user that runs LibreOffice service, let's say theuser, theuser is on apache group in order to write on tmp folders of my app. When I convert to pdf I create a folder (let's call it thefolder) to store the converted file (using mkdir function on PHP) I saw that thefolder hasn't group write permission and I test with other location from terminal (with theuser user) and it works, on thefolder I have errorCode 283, what I did is use umask function in PHP to change the permission for the creation of thefolder.

Summary: Check permissions on folder in wich you'll put the resulting file
