[EP-tech] Conversion of doc to pdf

[A.Riches at mmu.ac.uk (Adam Riches)]

All,

Is anyone using the conversion from doc/docx to pdf functionality within eprints?

Looking at the change logs:
Feature was added in 3.1: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/New_Features_in_EPrints_3.1
"There's a convert plugin to turn .doc into .pdf, which is available from the upload screen convert option."
and was clearly still in 3.3: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/New_Features_in_EPrints_3.3
"Antiword is no longer used for indexing so isn't required (although still used for the doc ? pdf 'toy' converter)"

The function appears in our setup, but currently doesn?t work.
Has anyone got this to work, or a workaround?

Regards,
Adam
