Thank you for your reply.
The reason I want to process the files in parallel is that I want to
run soffice as a service.
It is used by some other processes to transform ms office documents
into pdf files.
Suppose I can process one ppt file in open office in 30 seconds.
I find that I'll have to wait for 120 seconds so that four different
soffices listening on 4 different ports can finish processing the
file.
Yet I hope that the process can be faster like 90 seconds or 60
seconds or even smaller.
But it's true that pdf processing is really CPU intensive.
Does it mean that my issue can't be solved at present stage?
Thanks again for your reply.
