I have installed openoffice.org 3.4. I have placed report_aeroo, report_aeroo_ooo, report_aeroo_sample and installed all.

bzr branch lp:aeroolib

cd aeroolib/

sudo python ./setup.py install

Worked above commands.

But when i connect openoffice with aeroo report it shows below message.

Connection to OpenOffice.org instance was not established or convertion to PDF unsuccessful!

You have already installed aeroolib. I hope you have installed OpenERP Aeroo modules.
Now update openoffice script by running command

sudo nano /etc/init.d/openoffice.sh

and paste the below code in it.

OOo_HOME=/usr/bin
SOFFICE_PATH=$OOo_HOME/soffice
PIDFILE=/var/run/openoffice-server.pid
set -e
case “$1″ in
start)
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
echo “OpenOffice headless server has already started.”
sleep 5
exit
fi
echo “Starting OpenOffice headless server”
$SOFFICE_PATH -headless -nologo -nofirststartwizard -accept=”socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp” & > /dev/null 2>&1
touch $PIDFILE
;;
stop)
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
echo “Stopping OpenOffice headless server.”
killall -9 soffice && killall -9 soffice.bin
rm -f $PIDFILE
exit
fi
echo “Openoffice headless server is not running.”
exit
;;
*)
echo “Usage: $0 {start|stop}”
exit 1
esac
exit 0

Now press ctrl + x to save and close the nano editor. Make the script executable and make it start automatically at boot by 

sudo chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/openoffice.sh
sudo update-rc.d openoffice.sh defaults
sudo /etc/init.d/openoffice.sh start

Now go to Settings->Customization->Aeroo Reports->Configure OpenOffice.org connection. Click Connect. it should shows the success message for connection. Courtesy: http://goo.gl/gRv8lG
