LibreOffice not fund on windows

[CMAraujo87]

When trying to convert to pdf file, I got an error telling me that LibreOffice is not installed.

Scenario:
OS: Windows 7 SP1 (x64)
LibreOffice Version: 6.2.5.2 (x64)
soffice.exe Path: 'C:/Program Files/LibreOffice/program/soffice.exe'

The current filter cannot find this path: (Line 497 of file "converter.js")
var _windowsDirnamePattern = /^LibreOffice \d+(?:\.\d+)?$/i;

I could correct it locally by changing it to:
var _windowsDirnamePattern = /^LibreOffice( \d+(?:\.\d+)?)?$/i;

I don't like idea that depends on LibreOffice

I should fix it on Windows. Sorry for that.

Libreoffice is not mandatory if you do not convert the template to another format.

At the beginning, I tried to avoid LibreOffice because I wanted a tool really light and highly performant. But after many researches, I have never found a solution to convert a document more reliable than LibreOffice and which can run everywhere.

yes I know but, I believe that it possible change file type buffer into another file type buffer, for example exists a library word2pdf that convert docx files into pdf, too carbone should be add possibility for use dataUri with base64 format

Do you research if you can included LibreOffice libraries for each OS?? without had LibreOffice installation

@buster95 If you don't want library installation, you should use Docker by using our "ideolys/carbone-env-docker" image, check out. It's a Carbone environment ready to use: node 8 image with Libreoffice installed. Reach me if you need help to setup.
Also, feel free to Fork the project and submit Pull Requests to make improvements !

From what i understand, yes. LibreOffice from the readme states is mainly for document conversion. example from docx to pdf. so if u want a docx report you have to use a dock template.

I didn't want docx report. For my use, I need only PDFs. So is it necessary to install LibreOffice ??

Carboneio uses LibreOffice to convert the document into PDF. You won't need it if you don't want to convert or if you'll use another tool for the conversion.
