Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: RTF to PDF Command Line

I have it working!  Thanks for all of your input.  This is where OS excels!

Here is what I end ed up with.  I created a batch file for this purpose. 
It will only do one file at a time.  If you want a batch of file you can 
build another batch around this one to loop this batch against all files 
in a directory.  This is a work-in-progress.

@Echo Off
set outdir=%1
set indir=%2
set file=%3
set outfmt=%4

if /I "%outdir%"=="" goto Input_Error
if /I "%indir%"=="" goto Input_Error
if /I "%file%"=="" goto Input_Error
if /I "%outfmt%"=="" goto Input_Error

Echo %outdir%
Echo %indir%
Echo %file%
Echo %outfmt%

for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=.. " %%a in ("%file%") do set file_name=%%a
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=.. " %%a in ("%file%") do set file_ext=%%b

Echo %file_name%
Echo %file_ext%

CD /D S:\ProgramFiles\LibreOfficePortable
LibreOfficePortable.exe --headless --convert-to %outfmt% --outdir 
%outdir% %indir%%file%

:Check
IF EXIST %outdir%\%file_name%.%outfmt% goto End
Echo File not Ready Yet!
Sleep 15
Goto Check

:Input_Error
Echo Command Format: Convert {outdir} {indir} {filename} {outfmt}
Echo Example:        Convert c:\temp c:\files document.rtf PDF

:End
Echo File Process Done!

This works for me on linux:
/opt/libreoffice3.4/program/soffice -norestore -nofirststartwizard
-nologo -headless -pt CUPS-PDF-Printer 57343-001.rtf

That is:
<full path to soffice>  -norestore -nofirststartwizard -nologo -headless
-pt<printername>  <rtf document>

This also works:
$ /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/soffice --headless -convert-to pdf
57343-001.rtf

That is:
<full path to soffice>  --headless -convert-to pdf<rtf document>

Note that 'headless' has two dashes and 'convert-to pdf' has one dash.
