[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/kalimuthu-selvaraj/file-convert.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/kalimuthu-selvaraj/file-convert) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/kalimuthu-selvaraj/file-convert/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/kalimuthu-selvaraj/file-convert?branch=master)

(new feature) `disableExtensionCheck` is `true` then converts any file(supported by libre office) to `pdf or/and image(any format)`

`disableExtensionCheck` is `false` then converts only `.ppt` `.pptx` `.odp` and `.key` file to `pdf or/and image(png, jpg, jpeg and etc..)`

## Dependencies

Please install [libreoffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/), [imagemagick](https://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php) and might required [ghostscript](https://www.ghostscript.com/) for Mac os
**(Note: Please do restart your machine after installed all required software.)**

###IMPORTANT  
Make sure you install libreoffice to the USER you launch nodejs with and that this user HAS a home directory!  
try to convert a file from inside that USER to properly test!  
in case you install directly from libreoffice website,  
MAKE SURE you use the ./install script that comes inside the tar.gz inside the USER!
