Re: Extending ODT export

["Julian M. Burgos" <julian@hafro.is>]

Hi Takaaki,

Many thanks, but no luck.  I tried adding the complete path to soffice as you did below
(of course with the right path in my machine) and no luck.  If I do it
just like you, the export format does not change and is still ODT.  If
instead of using (setq org-export-odt-preferred-output-format "pdf") I
use (setq org-odt-preferred-output-format "pdf"), I get the same error
message as before.
