ooconvert - Commandline Document Converter Using OpenOffice.org
SYNOPSIS
ooconvert [--help] [--force] input output
DESCRIPTION
This tool converts documents between various formats on the commandline. It uses OpenOffice.org that guarantees the quality of available
import and export filters.
This tool tries to start OpenOffice.org in the server mode on backgroud. It does not work if the OpenOffice.org application has already
been running. Also it slows down the conversion a lot. We hope to reduce these limitations in the further versions.
OPTIONS
input Input file. The filename suffix must be one of the currently supported file formats, see below.
output Output file. The filename suffix defines the output file format. It must be one from the table below. An existing file can be over-
written by the --force option.
--help Print help and exit.
--force
Force an already existing output file to be replaced.
SUPPORTED FILE FORMATS
The current version of this tool does not read the list of available input and output filters directly from OpenOffice.org. The list of
supported file formats is hardcoded and thus limited to:
