Hi all, I've been looking into the command line parameters for LibO. Using these, it is possible to do some interesting things, such as converting from one format to another without having to run the LibO gui. An example of what I'm talking about is to convert your odt file to docx: soffice.exe -headless -convert-to docx Document_name.odt
My problem is that I can't find this "-convert-to" parameter in any proper documentation. The best I can find is some web post or something that mentions it (but not discussed in detail), such as http://muthusuba.blogspot.com/2011/03/so-called-hidden-features-of.html and http://notes.benv.junerules.com/commandline-xlsdoc-to-pdf-converting/ On the wiki pages I found references to some of the command line parameters for LibO (and OOo): http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Starting_the_Software_With_Parameters http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Command_Line_Arguments Most of these commands can also be seen by typing "soffice.exe -?". But neither the wiki pages nor the command line help (see below) mention the "-convert-to" parameter. Does anyone know where to find more information? I just have a sneaking suspicion that there might be other parameters that I'm not aware of (yet) that could prove useful. On a second point, "soffice.exe -?" is a little tricky. Instead of listing the available command parameters to the console, it opens up a "Help Message..." window (this is in Windows7 x64). Not all of the text fits into this window, and I can't scroll or resize the window. So in all fairness, it is possible that the "-convert-to" parameter is mentioned there, I just can't see it in the window. Does anyone know how I can get the help info to display properly?
