Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A command-line renderer for Office documents and PDFs that produces PDFs or page images and reports detected rendering losses.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-28 issue.
For
Teams replacing LibreOffice-based document rendering
Worth noticing
An error-level loss marks the output partial and makes `wolf render` exit with status 1.

Field notes

The command accepts DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, ODT/ODS/ODP, and legacy DOC/XLS/PPT, with output formats including PDF, PNG, SVG, JPEG, TIFF, and BMP. Its compatibility shims can sit ahead of existing `soffice` and Poppler commands on PATH; unsupported command forms fail with a named error rather than falling back to installed binaries. The comparison uses 42 DOCX, 51 PPTX, and 39 XLSX files and is explicitly described as a regression benchmark, not a blind test.
