Standardize PDF paper size using soffice

[Brightmatter]

soffice --headless "-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/LibreOffice_Conversion_${USER}" --convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export --outdir \tmp \tmp\fileName.extension

I am using the following command to help move a variety of PDF styles and/or formats into a format that US government agencies will accept. The only current roadblock is the need for A4 paper sizes. I was thinking this might work “–printer PaperSize=8.5x11” or this “–printer PaperSize=A4”, but it does not seem to. I can see command parameters here: soffice - Linux Man Pages (1) but it does not seem to include “PaperSize”.

Is there a better, more official site for obtaining all the command parameters?

Is there a means of setting the PDF page size using soffice at all?

Is there a means of setting the PDF page size via another tool?

Is there a means of setting the PDF page size using Java?

System Info:
OS: “Alpine Linux: v3.4 :: Arch: x86_64”
Libre: 5.1.4.2-r0

Unless I’m wrong, export to PDF uses the page size defined in the document. Consequently, to change stationery format, you need to change the page size in all page styles. I don’t think this can be done from command line.

@ajlittoz: you are absolutely right.
