Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require zahfouf/php-libreoffice
```

CLI Commands
------------

[](#cli-commands)

After installation, the CLI binary is available at:

```
vendor/bin/libreoffice
```

### `lo:install`

[](#loinstall)

Installs LibreOffice automatically on Ubuntu/Debian.

```
vendor/bin/libreoffice lo:install
```

Notes:

- Windows: automatic installation is not supported (the command prints the official download URL).
- Non-Debian/Ubuntu Linux: install LibreOffice using your distribution package manager.

### `lo:probe`

[](#loprobe)

Checks that the LibreOffice binary works and saves default values:

- binary path (`binary`)
- temporary directory (`temp_dir`)

```
vendor/bin/libreoffice lo:probe --binary="C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe" --temp-dir="C:\laragon\tmp"
```

These values are stored in `src/Config/global_options.php`.

### `lo:convert`

[](#loconvert)

Converts a Word document to PDF.

```
vendor/bin/libreoffice lo:convert "C:\docs\invoice.docx" --to=pdf --out="C:\docs\out"
```

Useful options:

- `--binary`: path to `soffice`
- `--timeout`: timeout in seconds
- `--temp-dir`: temporary directory
- `--profile`: strategy (`none|per_job|per_worker|shared_mutex`)
- `--worker-id`: worker id (for `per_worker`)
- `--keep-temp`: keep temporary files on failure
