Hello Peter,

there is no PDF support nor any rendering/layout support in the ODF
Toolkit, as it focus solely on the creation and adoption of the office file
format.
You will need to add a third party library for PDF support. I am aware of
several companies using libreoffice in the backend headless (without using
any front-end) only automated by command line.

There might be other suggestions from users on this list...

Regards,
Svante
