Preview office documents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, macro-enabled DOCM, XLSM,
PPTM, legacy DOC, XLS, PPT, and ODT, ODS, ODP, ODG) directly in the
browser, including chatter attachments.

The document is converted to PDF on the Odoo server using LibreOffice in
headless mode and rendered with Odoo's native PDF.js viewer. Nothing
leaves your server: no external viewer service (Microsoft Office Online,
Google Docs) is involved, which makes this suitable for sensitive
documents.

Converted PDFs are cached on disk (keyed by document checksum), so each
document is only converted once. The *Download* button still downloads
the original file, not the converted PDF.

Installation
============

LibreOffice must be installed on the Odoo server and the ``libreoffice``
binary must be available in the PATH of the Odoo process:

::

apt-get install libreoffice

On Odoo.sh, LibreOffice is already available by default.

If LibreOffice is not available, the module still installs, but the
preview button is simply not shown for office files (the availability is
exposed to the web client through the session info).

Usage
=====

1. Attach an office file (e.g. an ``.xlsx``) to any record with a
chatter, or send it in a message.
2. Click on the attachment thumbnail.
3. The file opens in the standard Odoo file viewer, rendered as PDF.
