It occurs to me that OpenOffice would make a dandy filter to do some file conversions. I'm thinking that I can load html and doc files and so on into OpenOffice Writer, then print them to a file and get Postscript or PDF all in one smooth motion. I would like to script this operation and tell OpenOffice to load test.html into Writer, then print it to a file. I can get the first half of the job ooffice -writer test.html That brings up Writer and loads my file. Now how do I print it to a Postscript or PDF file and close OpenOffice without having to click the icons? I've tried all sorts of permutations of "ooffice -pt Cups-PDF test.html" without success. Printing to the Cups-PDF printer from within OpenOffice works fine, but I can't find the magic combination to get it to do that automatically. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
