A "CLI switch" is an sub-command or option that can be specified on the command line as part of the command-line interface (CLI). > I've only converted PDFs to Word and all appears fine, But perhaps you are not using "filter data" options? > so unless there's a bug in your program version, I don't see why > reversing the process should be a problem. No, what I'm wondering about is how I specify that I want the generated PDF to be tagged (a modern-day requirement for compliance with accessibility regulations). Running "soffice --help" on the command line gives me this (plus much other information): --convert-to output_file_extension[:output_filter_name[:output_filter_options]] [--outdir output_dir] files Batch convert files (implies --headless). If --outdir is not specified then current working dir is used as output_dir. Eg. --convert-to pdf *.doc --convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export --outdir /home/user *.doc --convert-to "html:XHTML Writer File:UTF8" *.doc --convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8" *.doc In the last couple of examples, I think "UTF8" is a filter option. But it doesn't have the name=value form. So I'm wondering how it's supposed to work. And where it's documented.
