Install OfficeToPDF

Source: R/install_otp.R
install_otp.Rd

Downloads OfficeToPDF.exe from https://github.com/cognidox/OfficeToPDF/releases and copies it to a suitable location, by default system.file(package = "accessr").

Usage

install_otp(dir, url, method, quiet = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

dir

Directory into which to download the executable file OfficeToPDF.exe. This argument must be supplied. Pass dir = "accessr" to choose the accessr package directory, that is, system.file(package = "accessr"). This choice should enable OfficeToPDF.exe to be found but there may be a problem if .libPaths refers to a cloud storage directory, such as OneDrive.

If dir is not supplied, e.g. the call is install_otp(), then an error is thrown and dir = "accessr" is suggested.

url

URL from which to download OfficeToPDF.exe. If this is missing then https://github.com/cognidox/OfficeToPDF/releases/download/v1.9.0.2/OfficeToPDF.exe is used.

method

Passed to download.file. If missing then getOption("download.file.method") is used to set it.

quiet

Passed to download.file. quiet controls whether messages are printed during the download.

...

Additional arguments passed to download.file.

Value

See the Value section of download.file.

Details

The argument mode = "wb" to download.file is hard-coded, so that binary transfer is forced.

Note

OfficeToPDF.exe is used to create PDF files from Word documents in rmd2word.
