Open office -> PDF

[kpzani]

I want to batch process a folder of OO text documents into PDF. is there a way to automate this?

maybe a bash script, command line or macro style script.

For some extremly stupid reason, I've found several windows versions of what you want to do. Blast!

I did find this:

http://kosh.datateamsys.com/~danny/OOo/Tools/

But it doesn't say if it runs on Win or Lin. Drat!

I also found this:

What type of files are they, sxw or txt? Maybe something all together different?

For a real round about way to get where you want to be, you could use:

then another txt (or html) to pdf script. Of course, if you used a script, you wouldn't notice anyway.

Well, I hope that helps. I saw a couple of win batch file conversion utilities. I'll look them over and see if I can't whip up a Bash version.

The first link you gave me worked like a dream. It's written in OOo's macro language so it is platform independant.

awesome. converts any ooo supported format into anyother.

blumming marvellous.
