Description
Hello,
Adding my voice to this app where I can't get it to work for me?
I’m trying to automate the creation of PDF documents from the workflow in Nextcloud where certain .docx files have a special tag on them. I’ve installed libreoffice on my test nextcloud as per your suggestion. I confirmed the location of libreoffice using:
command -v libreoffice
being /usr/bin/libreoffice,
I updated my /usr/share/nextcloud/config/config.php file with the following line as per the PDF conversion documentation:
‘preview_libreoffice_path’ => ‘/usr/bin/libreoffice’,
To be safe I restarted my Nextcloud server.
I then configured a PDF Flow to look for Office Documents with my tag to create a PDF document.
I then went into a .docx document and made some changes to it and saved it. I expected the Flow to work but no PDF was created?
What am I missing in this setup? Any advice on what I’m missing to get this working for me?
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the PDF conversion documentation alongside the reported configuration in /usr/share/nextcloud/config/config.php and the LibreOffice path /usr/bin/libreoffice. Reproduce the tagged .docx workflow if possible; done would mean identifying the missing setup step or documenting the complete configuration needed to create the PDF.
