I want to use LibreOffice only for headless conversions, and I wanted to know if there is/anyone has made a download of LibreOffice that ONLY does conversions, without graphics, and is much smaller(portable). I know that I can do it with the full installation, but I want to/need to save as much space as possible.
?? Which conversions? odt2pdf, docx2pdf, doc2odt, odt2html or everything possible?
.
Also wich graphics should be left out?
- No background graphics possible
- No shapes with text
- Not printing ilustrations, charts etc is one idea, but to leave formatting intact your converter needs to load all graphics to check its size, or it requires all other software generating .odt, doc, docx to write bounding boxes in the source-file.
- And character glyphs in fonts are essentially also graphics
So even, if somebody generates a “reduced version” I guess it would not fit other users idea of the same topic.
.
PS: And note, LibreOffice has no separate “module” for conversions only. Foreign formats are converted in LibreOffice internal representation. This is the information used for Save-as or export. So there is no direct docx2pdf but something like docx2odt2pdf

I want all of the possible conversions. By “no graphics” I mean that I don’t want the LibreOffice GUI, the editor, etc. I do want the converters to have full support.
