the Gem can't find the soffice executable. Is LibreOffice Installed?.

Hey @benbalter, Installing LibreOffice fixed this error for me.

Thanks!

Hi I also ran into this issue without realizing I had to install LibreOffice. Suggestion: Fail with specific exception message, stating that soffice executable from LibreOffice cannot be found

Fixed in v1.1.3.
