Hi,
I have been using libreoffice on my Centos 7 server for a long time to convert documents to PDFs.
However, I now have a problem with a Word file. As soon as I try to convert it to PDF, the process hangs. When I use “top” to view my processes, I see that soffice.bin has 100% CPU usage. This does not change even after a longer wait.
my Libreoffice version: LibreOffice 5.3.6.1 30(Build:1)
This version is installed automatically on Centos 7 with
yum install libreoffice-core libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress
What I have tried so far:
- Libreoffice version 7.3.2
- Libreoffice version 7.2.6
- Call with --backtrace
- backtrace with debuginfo-install libreoffice-core-5.3.6.1-25.el7_9.x86_64
With all versions installed, the same behavior is seen with the Word file.
There is nothing helpful in the gdbtrace.log.
As soon as the process hangs, it also writes nothing to the log file.
My call looks like this:
/usr/bin/soffice --headless --backtrace --convert-to pdf '/test/input/fail.docx' --outdir '/test'
Does anyone else have any ideas on how I can figure out the problem?
