In Windows 10,How to convert docx or pptx files to PDF format using soffice.exe on the command line?

What is the correct syntax to use for convert-to filter options?

I am trying to use --convert-to option to convert OOXML files to PDF and HTML but I couldn’t find any information how to use specific filter options. Specifically, I want to use ExportNotes and ExportNotesPages for impress_pdf_Export filter and Publishmode for ‘XHTML Impress File’ filter.

--convert-to commands in parallel: possible?

I am aware that it is possible to --convert-to an entire batch of files so that the server/service is not called to life over and over for each file. But I have noticed that my cpu sits far from full usage when the conversions are under way, and I sit on a bottomless pile of docx’s to convert to pdf, so I want to parallellize the batches to make it faster. Is there no way to make this happen? I am on linux, and using the parallel command does not help since the service is only processing one bat…

@changxin you posted some (many) command lines. (They are wrong, by the way, because they do not escape quotes on Windows.) What are they expected to demonstrate?
