Description: Opening a .docx that may contain corrupt or invalid XML data in headless mode will fail to open, However, the GUI offers a dialogue that allows the user to ignore any errors and open anyway. I would like a commandline switch, such as `--ignore-errors` that allows the CLI to do a best effort, just as the GUI does, rather than failing with "Error: Source file could not be loaded" Steps to Reproduce: 1. run a corrupt .docx such as one found here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/help-saxexception-word-document-xml-line-2-attribute-w-cstheme-redefined/60704 with the command: `soffice --headless --invisible --nodefault --nofirststartwizard --nolockcheck --nologo --norestore --convert-to pdf <PATH_TO_FILE>` Observe the error: `Error source file could not be loaded` 2. Open an instance of LibreOffice GUI, then run the command again. When prompted, press "Yes" to ignore errors. 3. Command will exit successfully, and a pdf file has been created. Actual Results: No ability to successfully run command without GUI Expected Results: a flag such as `--ignore-errors` that will give the CLI the power to bypass such errors Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: .

I believe you. Marking as NEW.
(In reply to Michael Warner from comment #2) > I believe you. Marking as NEW. Not opposed to the NEW status - but I fail to see how "I believe you" is a reason to mark anything as NEW by itself. The confirmation is expected to show that there is someone also having a similar issue, or who thinks it's a reasonable change/proposal, etc. It's not a matter of belief.
