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.
