What version of LO? For 3.3.4: libreoffice --headless --invisible -convert-to pdf test.odt Note the single dash (-) before 'convert'. It I use --convert I get an error. Also, the process doesn't terminate properly & I have to use Ctrl-c to get it to quit. For 3.5.x: libreoffice --headless --invisible --convert-to pdf test.odt or in my case: /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/soffice --headless --invisible --convert-to pdf test.odt works w/o issue. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
