Hi there,

I’m trying to convert some old Lotus spreadsheets to Excel format via a command line script (because I have a lot of them). I get the following error. I’d appreciate any suggestions:

Had the same error and found that I cannot use file paths in many situations, I have to convert them to urls first, i.e. “file:///Users/nikita/test.doc”. (Samples that come with the sdk were helpful)
