I have installed openoffice and jodconverter on ubuntu 12.04 (64) in order to convert .xls into pdf.
I have the same installation on 10.04 (64) working great, however having just built a new machine with freshly installed 12.04, it simply refuses to run.
It is a headless machine and openoffice is called with:
soffice --headless --nologo --nofirststartwizard "--accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp"
I have confirmed that it is listening on 8100:
netstat -an | grep 8100
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8100 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
however runnind jodconverter (to convert pcash.xls to pcash.pdf) always results in this ClassNotFound error:
jodconverter pcash.xls pcash.pdf

I have clicked pretty much every link in google, I have installed open-office with apt-get as well as by downloading the latest and installing from .deb and it makes no difference.
This works flawlessley on 10.04 and yet I have spent the last 6 hours getting nowhere !!
