--- Comment #5 from tovrstra <[email protected]> --- I also wondered why it was only possible to specify the output directory. I agree, it makes sense when converting many files in one call. When converting a single file, this argument doesn't apply. I'm using the following workaround (sh command on Linux): WORK=`mktemp -d --suffix=convert` && libreoffice -env:UserInstallation=file://${WORK} --convert-to pdf ${inp} --outdir ${WORK} > /dev/null && cp ${WORK}/*.pdf ${out} && rm -r ${WORK} ${inp} is the input path. ${out} is the output path. The -env:UserInstallation=file://${WORK} part makes this one-liner work correctly in parallel workflows. Without it, libreoffice will just exit silently if another conversion is already running: See https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106134 I'm not sure if there are better solutions than my somewhat clumsy one-liner? It seems less than ideal that something as simple as converting file A to another file B requires such a workaround. Simple things should be simple. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
