openoffice command line printing...
What I'm trying to do is convert a bunch of Excel files to PDF. I can open the Excel
files in oocalc and export to PDF but I've
been reading that you can do this same thing by using Cups-PDF and "soffice -pt
"Cups-PDF" file.xls' and it will fire up oocalc and,
essentially, use the Cups-PDF "printer" to save the file out as a .pdf file.
Well, that's not working for me. I never get an
output file when I run the command from the command line and I can't figure out why.
I'm running on Fedora 8 with the latest
openoffice, cups, cups-pdf rpms for that platform. Can somebody else try on their end and
see if it works for them? FWIW, "soffice
-p file.xls" doesn't print my file to the default printer either.
Thanks.
