Hi
I have this error when trying to use PDF extensions for reports:
`[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'soffice': 'soffice'`
I’m running tryton 5.6 encapsulated in a virtualenv, and libreoffice is installed with apt on the server (LibreOffice 6.1.5.2 10(Build:2))
I’m missing something?

It means that `soffice` executable is not found in the `$PATH`.

Thanks for your answer, but Libreoffice looks present for me:
```
echo $PATH
/root/tryton/venv/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
which soffice
/usr/bin/soffice
```
I’ve tried to add a link to /usr/bin/soffice in the virtual env (venv/bin) and restart the service, but without success. What is the recommended way to add this to the $PATH?
My server is Debian 10.

Are you sure the `$PATH` is the one in the environment of the service?
Otherwise check the `soffice` is executable.

It was indeed the PATH which was wrongly defined in the environment service.
Thansk a lot for your help!
Here is my trytond.service file in case it helps:
```

After=syslog.target
