  • 1.  "libreoffice" package (or other text-to-pdf converter)

    Posted Wed May 29, 2024 06:33 PM

    A colleague who administers RHEL servers uses the "libreoffice" package to convert text files to PDFs, but when I try to run "dnf install libreoffice" on AIX  I get "Error: Unable to find a match: libreoffice."

    Are there plans to make this package available via the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications?  If so, when?  If not, can someone recommend a text-to-pdf converter?  Thanks!

    pandoc is another package that converts between many formats.

    You can use a combination of a2ps and ps2pdf ( provided by Ghostscript ) to achieve txt to pdf conversion. Both a2ps and Ghostscript is available in AIX Toolbox.
