That's right my preciousss, a viewer for your pleasure or not quite.

So here it goes...

After Ubuntu-MID got released, i snatched a VM and ran it to see what it is like. Turned out not very good, but that's not the point. The point was that i saw a document reader among the apps, which opened MS documents (doc, xls, ppt and such) almost without any effort (of course that's a kvm to you ). I tracked it and found an OpenOffice under the hood, using an old OOo trick to convert documents with a macro and show them as PDF. So i thought - why we don't have that... So i downloaded the debian armel build of OOo, stripped it down a little, got it to run, wrote a small executable to open the docs (dialog or command line) and voila - the 156MB document viewer is right in front of you...

I packaged it along with the OOo (which i think is LGPL), if someone sees a license issue - please notify me.

Also - no mime types for the browser, use pipeline's utility to do it, until i learn how to do it with dbus.

If you want to start the office, use this:
No icons in OOo though.

I intend to bring this thing even further, i'll explain how in the following days.

57MB/156MB

Just to make it clear - it takes 20+ seconds to convert the file, so be patient.
