Hi
Can someone point a tool to batch convert a folder of ODF files to PDF? preferably on Windows.
Thank you
Hi @Olivier,
Take a look at the answers to this question:
Specifically, look at the notes on how Windows' shell expands (or rather does not expand) the asterisk (*) character. I don't think it's necessary to use unonconv for the conversion -- you could just use the python code for globbing, and then call soffice.exe --headless --convert-to pdf and pass in the appropriate parameters, etc.., etc..
On Linux this is very easy to do by using LibreOffice itself:
In a terminal simply go to your folder and type:
libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf *.odt (and Enter)
This will convert all text documents to PDF. Repeat with .ods and .odp if needed.
I think it more complicated on Windows, so if this is a one time task perhaps you could start your computer with a Ubuntu Live CD and do it from Linux.
Convert your ODF files by typing :
soffice.exe --headless --convert-to pdf *.odt
FWIW, answer of rafik here gives a reasonable solution. Note also another information at the abovementioned page.
