# DoliPDF

## Overview

**DoliPDF** is a Dolibarr module that automatically converts your ODT documents (proposals, invoices, orders, etc.) into PDF files. It works transparently when Dolibarr generates documents, with no manual action on your part.

## How it works

When Dolibarr generates a document in ODT format (from an ODT document template), DoliPDF catches the creation of the file and converts it to PDF. Two conversion modes are available:

- **Remote server** - The ODT file is sent to a DoliPDF server (by default `https://pdf.cap-rel.fr`), which converts it and returns the PDF. This mode requires no extra installation on your Dolibarr server.
- **Local command** - LibreOffice, installed on your Dolibarr server, performs the conversion directly. This mode needs no internet connection but requires LibreOffice to be installed on the server.

## Features

- Automatic ODT to PDF conversion when documents are generated
- Choice between remote conversion (online service) and local conversion (LibreOffice)
- PDF integrity check through an MD5 checksum
- Optional deletion of the source ODT file after a successful conversion
- Visual notification when PDF files are generated
- Option to restrict the conversion to validated documents only
- Option to stop regenerating the PDF each time a product line is changed
- Automatic indexing of the generated PDF file in Dolibarr

## Requirements

- Dolibarr 14.0 or later
- PHP 7.4 or later
- An ODT document template set up in Dolibarr
- For the remote mode: an account on a DoliPDF server, which can be opened directly from the module
- For the local mode: LibreOffice installed on the server
