Convert .cdr and .plt files to .svg
Problem: nothing exist in linux world, that able to convert cdr to .svg without errors.
/usr/bin/libreoffice --headless --convert-to svg file.cdr
Usually not works (but with GUI all fine).
/usr/bin/libreoffice --headless --convert-to eps file.cdr
/usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=svg -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=file.svg file.eps
Works good, but result .svg is B&W and coorinates in file looks for me very strange
Install xvfb, libreoffice, and some GUI-testing tool. Make script like "open file, export to svg, close file".
So here is step-by step instruction. I use OpenVZ, so you warned ;)
vzctl create 1015 --ostemplate ubuntu-12.04-x86
vzctl set 1015 --hostname HOSTNAME --ipadd 10.100.0.15 --ram 1G --diskspace 20G --swappages=100:100 —save
vzctl set 1015 --privvmpages=256000 --tcprcvbuf=27033600 —save
vzctl start 1015
vzctl enter 1015
apt-get update
apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:xpresser-team/ppa
add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install python-xpresser libreoffice xvfb x11vnc xterm apache2 php5 php5-json mysql-server mysql-client php5-cli subversion php5-mysql
apt-get install mc
mcedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
a2enmod suexec
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
chmod 777 /root
mcedit /etc/rc.local
ADD this
Xvfb :0 -ac -screen :0 1024x768x16 & > /root/xlog
x11vnc -display :0 -passwd 123 --many & > /root/vnc
DISPLAY=:0 libreoffice &
/var/www/convert/conv &
cp /var/www/testfile.cdr /root/1.cdr
ssh -L 5901:10.100.0.15:5900 root@server_with_VPS
GUI ! Open in libreoffice /root/1.cdr and close it (but not LO!)
apt-get install python-dbus
apt-get install --reinstall gir1.2-gtk-2.0 python-software-properties software-properties-gtk
DISPLAY=:0 python ./test.py
this must work now ^^^^
cd /var/www/convert/chmod +x conv
conv just looking for /tmp/1.cdr, after it appears, it copy to /root and ask xpresser to open file, export them to 1.svg and close.
after that i call normalize.php, that fix result svg (row and height set properley) and remove any text
WARNING: normalize.php REMOVE text in .svg. I need it ;)
thats all ;) yep it very buggy and stupid, but allow me to convert MANY .cdr files to .svg
Have fun!
