Subject: [RFC][ODT] Converting to pdf (or other formats) via odt
Date: Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:29:48 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <81sjitx86z.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Thanks to Giles[1] for introducing us to the "--convert-to" option of
soffice.exe. The option seems to be a fairly recent development[2].
With this change, one can export to pdf (or any other popular format)
via odt by a simple
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-export-odt-preferred-output-format "pdf")
#+end_src
There is no need to install additional converters. It is assumed that
the user has a working and fairly recent LibreOffice installation.
Footnotes:
[1] http://imperfectsoftware.blogspot.in/2012/01/one-of-my-less-enjoyable-tasks-is-to.html
[2] There seems to be a bunch of fairly recent bugs with this option. So
a cutting edge LibreOffice would definitely be needed.

Feedback welcome.
