Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: re. doc to pdf
Hi :) Just because 3 different ways have been described doesn't mean you have to argue the merits of all 3. Just use whichever one you like first time and then maybe try others ion the future sometime to see the difference. The first answer was the best because it was the first and given quite quickly. In most User Support places that would be the end of the ticket but here we carry on and give other options and discuss side-issues. The original poster still hasn't told us that we solved the problem so we keep finding other ways until he's happy. Sometimes even after that we carry on discussing the issues. I don't see that as a bad thing. I have just thought of another way and i'm somewhat surprised that no-one else seems to have pointed it out. There must be at least 1 headless way. Something like libreoffice --convert-to pdf /path-name/file-name but i doubt that is exactly right!
