Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-05-10 09:33:35 UTC

Well i enjoy converting text documents to pdf from the commandline for the work i'm doing, but i would like better control over the process like:

1) supplying an output filename
2) having it not overwrite a file that already exists
3) being able to run it when libO is already running

I'm currently using this commandline code:
`libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf %F`

Hi Jay,

thanks for bringing in this idea for enhancement > New

For this kind of control around the process, I suggest writing a script around the LO command. In my opinion this is a WF.
