    If an internally managed office server is configured (xwiki.properties), this method will start an office server process and connect to it. Otherwise this method will try to connect to an external office server instance configured through xwiki.properties. Calling start() on an already started / connected server has no effect.
    
    Throws:
    
    OfficeServerException - if the start operation fails
  - stop
```
void stop()
   throws OfficeServerException
```
    If an internally managed office server is configured (xwiki.properties), this method will disconnect from the office server and terminate the server process. Otherwise this method will simply disconnect from the external office server. Calling stop() on an already stopped / disconnected server has no effect.
    
    Throws:
    
    OfficeServerException - if stop operation fails
  - getConverter
```
OfficeConverter getConverter()
```
