Another way is to use the wizard in libreoffice (File > Wizards > 
Document Converter ) from a PC on the same network than the server and 
using a network share.

We used this solution to convert tons of documents in order to avoid CPU 
charge on servers that were used for other purposes and it was nice 
(only I/O on the servers).
We were able to parallelize tasks with multiple PCs, each one was 
dealing with a dedicated sub-directory of the share.

Just my 2 cents.
