Hi Ravi,
Not really. If you do not set up and enable the use of unoconv, then you have to provide and set up another convertor and then use it. Do you know of, or have another convertor in mind?

Hi Ravi,
I have not had any luck with that new process either. In fact, using three different servers, I can't even get the fileconverter_drive.zip to install. Those directions are very similar to the new QA Test directions, https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLQA-10943. I have not been able to get the QA Test to work yet.

Not yet, but you may want to look at MDL-58280 which will allow you to perform document conversions using Google

Hi Stephen,
I am aware of MDL-58280 and been waiting to see it in action. I think many folks are going to be disappointed though. In fact, the new code is currently in the Moodle git master branch and there is a QA Test for it at https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLQA-10943. (QA Testing for Moodle 3.3 is ongoing now for three days.) So far, to me the new sample converter is not any easier to set up than unoconv and so far I've not been able to get it to work.

Well, the question wasn't about it being easy or not to setup, but if it can be done without unoconv. We haven't started testing it yet, but expect to soon.
Unoconv is unstable, and many sites don't have the option (or the desire) to install unoconv, libreoffice, and java on all of their servers (Although there are some ways around that in 3.2 and 3.1, but require some scripting foo).
Now that it is a plugin interface, I expect other options to come around.

I've also tried working with the QA test on MDLQA-10943. I DID get the drive converter installed, (but only by performing the manual installation and not using the web installer.) Once it was installed, it was displaying debug notices on every page. I just assumed that it was due to a conflict with the "Better Office Integration" project. (also, the code in MDL-58280 seems to be significantly different from the google drive file converter attached to MDLQA-10943)
Hopefully MDL-58280 will make it into Moodle 3.3 eliminating the need for unoconv.
