OTOH, To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test?
Comment 3 Timur 2022-02-25 17:41:33 UTC
Convert-to is working, so you seem to have some local problem. 
You should write the full command you used, and add sample document.
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2022-02-25 19:09:55 UTC
I'm on Debian testing x86-64 that I update almost every day.

Could you provide a test file and precise command line?

No pb here:
julien@debianamd:/tmp$ soffice --headless --infilter="writer_pdf_import" --convert-to doc:"MS Word 97" Trading\ bot\ website.pdf 
convert /tmp/Trading bot website.pdf -> /tmp/Trading bot website.doc using filter : MS Word 97

I attached generated file

Do you use LO from Debian repositories?

Could you try https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Corrupted_user_profile ?
Comment 7 Joshua Coppersmith 2022-02-26 21:47:11 UTC
RE: Regression/Progression: Cannot replicate with LO 7.2.5 on Debian 11 for conversion from ods to xlsx. The xlsx version of the file pops up as expected.

Note: Any deviation where requested source file does not exist will result in quiet failure, identical to result in bug report.
Comment 8 Timur 2022-02-27 08:29:03 UTC
Semms line not LO bug, but some local problem. 
I'd check permissions for filename.pdf and for writing. 
Also start without --headless, or start simple: soffice filename.pdf . 
If you can show otherwise, set Unconfirmed.

Seems like the problem was user profile as Xisco Faulí suggest, the issue has been resolved..
