The --invisible flag did not work. 
It opens LibreOffice (can be seen in the Dock (Mac)).
But when I use the soffice command, it does not perform the conversion.
(We get the same behavior if we open LibreOffice from the gui and then run the command)

I was able to use some examples I found to get --accept running, but I don’t know what to do next...
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice 
"--accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=2003,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;" --headless --nodefault 
--nofirststartwizard --nolockcheck --nologo --norestore
I see LibreOffice in the Dock, and I can telnet to localhost 2003...
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --convert-to pdf 
/Users/itsme/Desktop/testOpNote1.rtf   produces a brief 2nd LibreOffice in the Dock, but no PDF is 
created...

What command should I use once LibreOffice is running to get the convert-to flag to function (it 
only seems to work if LibreOffice is NOT running)?

Thank you,

Brian
