It relies on command line utilities to do the conversions. It has two caveats: * it hasn't been used with Rails 3 or above and therefore you may need to fork it to make it work * when it was written the utilities didn't support .doc-x files, you might need to update it to do that ----- Docvert is written in Python, but can be run as a command line utility. Like the other utilities that convert_attachment_to relies upon, convert_attachment_to would make a system call to docvert and grab the result. So definitely not a pure ruby solution, but convert_attachment_to acts as ruby interface to these existing utilities. Hope that clears it up.
