Requirements

For extensions 's support: xls, doc, ppt, xlsx, docx, pptx. It is necessary installed Libre OFFICE on the application server that hosts your JIRA core instance

Step 1

• Windows:

...

       Install Libre Office from Libre Office

• Linux:

Use the system package manager to install it. The package manager varies from distro to distro.

Make sure you match the architecture of the machine and JDK. You cannot load 64 bits DLLs in a 32 bits JVM.

Step 2

Define OFFICE_HOME in the environment pointing to an existing Libre Office home install.

• Windows:

Control Panel -> System and Security -> System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables

• Linux:

# export OFFICE_HOME=

...

<path> (or better: add it in the shell script that starts JIRA)

...

  Make sure it is visible in a the shell that starts JIRA/cmd:

• Windows:

...

cmd >echo %OFFICE_HOME%

• Linux:

# echo $OFFICE_HOME

E.g. for my Windows box, OFFICE_HOME = D:\devel\libreoffice

Notes for Linux: because of each distro you may need to configure LD_LIBRARY_PATH to contain the path to libraries
used by LibreOffice

Step  Step 3

Start JIRA. Restart it if already started so it will pick up the above environment variable.

Step 4

Install add-on. Login as an system administrator in JIRA and go to:
  Jira Administration -> Addons -> Manage Add-ons -> Upload add-on

In the dialog, point to the pdfxporter jar file (file name may vary because of the version) and press the 'Upload'
button button.

Step 5
Enjoy! 

If the PDF is not created, please check the logs for details. You will find them in <JIRA_HOME>/logs/atlassian-jira.log

This is a normal properties file, with the following  parameters and their defaults:

useprefix=true

...

prefix.comite.pre = name-before-comite-status

...

prefix.comite.post = name-after-comite-status

...

comite.status = status

Of course, setting useprefix on 'false' cuts the prefix functionality
