I'm trying to figure out how to automate Microsoft Office to convert files on Linux. Can I use COM on Wine/Linux? If not, can any suggest ideas of how to script Microsoft Office on Wine?
Yes it is possible to use com. From inside wine in either a exe or a wine build exe ie exe.so. I will place a serous point here. Wine is not what you call resource light. If OpenOffice or other open source tools that are native will do the conversions use them. There are many examples using OpenOffice as a conversion tool out there.
