Issue
I want to download my text documents in docx file format, using OpenOffice integration. I currently am only able to download as doc, not docx.
I want to add docx file format to portal.properties configurations for OpenOffice target extension.
Environment
DXP 7.4
DXP 7.3
DXP 7.2
Resolution
OpenOffice 4.0.0 or higher can convert text document files from docx to doc, odt, pdf, rtf, sxw, and txt file formats. This can be set by the following portal-ext.properties:
However, OpenOffice does not support saving text documents to docx file format (see OpenOffice forum "Save as Docx") so Liferay with OpenOffice integration cannot convert text documents to docx.
If docx file format is absolutely necessary, please use LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice for Liferay integration.
