命令“ libreoffice —— headless —— Convert-to pdf test.docx —— outdir/pdf”不起作用

最佳答案

I would first of all try it with giving absolute paths to the command.
I suspect that the libreoffice binary does not work -- you have to locate the soffice binary and see if that works.
Then, your --convert-to pdf is not sufficient. It needs to be:
```
--convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export
```
Be sure to follow exactly this capitalization!
Next, the command will not work if there is already a LibreOffice GUI instance up and running on your system. It is caused by bug known since 2011. Add this additional parameter to your command:
```
 "-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/LibreOffice_Conversion_${USER}"
```
This will create a new, separate environment which can be used by a second, headless LO instance without interfering with a possibly running first GUI LO instance started by the same user.
Also, make sure that the --outdir /pdf you specify does exist, and that you have write permission to it. Or, rather use a different output dir. Even if it is just for the first testing and this debugging round:
```
$ mkdir ${HOME}/lo_pdfs
```

Hence:

/path/to/soffice                                                     \
--headless                                                         \
"-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/LibreOffice_Conversion_${USER}" \
--convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export                                 \
--outdir ${HOME}/lo_pdfs                                           \
/path/to/test.docx

This works for me on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 with LibreOffice v4.4.3.2 (using my specific path for the binary soffice which will be different for you anyway...).

If all this doesn't work:

It may be a problem with the specific DOCX file you try the command with... So create a very simple DOCX document of your own first. Use LibreOffice itself for this. Write "Hello World!" on an otherwise empty page. Save it as DOCX.
Try again. Does it work with the simple DOCX?
If it again doesn't work, repeat step 7, but save as ODT this time.
Repeat step 8, but make sure to reference the ODT this time.

Last: Use full path to soffice, to soffice.bin and to libreoffice and run each with the -h parameter:

$ /path/to/libreoffice -h
$ /path/to/soffice -h
$ /path/to/soffice.bin -h

Do you even get an output here?
For which one of the three binaries/symlinks?
Record the outputs.
Tell us your outputs!!!

Compare them to the command line you used:

Are there any changes in parameter names, capitalizations, number of dashes used, etc.??

For comparison, my own output is here:

$ /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice -h


LibreOffice 4.4.3.2 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16

Remaining arguments will be treated as filenames or URLs of documents to open.

Add one more argument to your command line to enforce the application of an input filter when soffice opens your DOCX file:

--infilter="Microsoft Word 2007/2010/2013 XML"

or

--infilter="Microsoft Word 2007/2010/2013 XML"

--infilter="Microsoft Word 2007-2013 XML Template"

Update

LibreOffice cannot only convert DOCX to PDF on the command line:

It can process any input format which it can open and "read": DOC, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, ...
It can convert to any output format which it can "write": DOC, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, ...

Of course, results will never be perfect, and sometimes they will even be un-acceptable to you.

Re. output as PDF:

To control, which LibreOffice component generates PDF output, you can use these variants:

--convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export
--convert-to pdf:calc_pdf_Export
--convert-to pdf:draw_pdf_Export
--convert-to pdf:impress_pdf_Export
--convert-to pdf:writer_web_pdf_Export

Re. input which is not DOCX:

To enforce infilters for non-DOCX input formats, you could use (list is not complete):

--infilter="HTML Document"                      # for HTML input
--infilter="MediaWiki"                          # for MediaWiki input
--infilter="Text CSV"                           # for CSV spreadsheet input
--infilter="Microsoft PowerPoint 2007/2010 XML" # for PPTX input
--infilter="Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP"    # for PPT input
--infilter="Windows Metafile"                   # for WMF input
--infilter="Enhanced Metafile"                  # for EMF input
--infilter="Scalable Vector Graphics"           # for SVG input
--infilter="Microsoft Excel 2007/2010 XML"      # for XLSX input
--infilter="Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP"         # for XLS input
--infilter="Microsoft Excel 95"                 # for some XLS input
--infilter="Microsoft Excel 5.0"                # for some XLS input

Re. output which is not PDF:

To convert to specific output formats, you could use (list not complete):

--convert-to html:HTML
--convert-to html:draw_html_Export                 # force "Draw" to generate the HTML
--convert-to mediawiki:MediaWiki_Web               # generate MediaWiki output
--convert-to csv:"Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)"     # generate CSV spreadsheet output
--convert-to pptx:"Impress MS PowerPoint 2007 XML" # generate PPTX
--convert-to ppt:"MS PowerPoint 97"                # generate PPT
--convert-to wmf:impress_wmf_Export                # force "Impress" to generate the WMF
--convert-to wmf:draw_wmf_Export                   # force "Draw" to generate the WMF
--convert-to emf:impress_emf_Export                # force "Impress" to generate the EMF
--convert-to emf:draw_emf_Export                   # force "Draw" to generate the EMF
--convert-to svg:impress_svg_Export                # force "Impress" to generate the SVG
--convert-to svg:draw_svg_Export                   # force "Draw" to generate the SVG
--convert-to xlsx:"Calc MS Excel 2007 XML"         # generate XLSX
--convert-to xls:"MS Excel 97"                     # generate XLS like Excel 97
--convert-to xls:"MS Excel 95"                     # generate XLS like Excel 95
--convert-to xls:"MS Excel 5.0/95"                 # generate XLS like Excel 5.0/95

Update

The current Version of libreoffice is working: v5.2.6.2 (mac)

I'm using the following command

/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir . the_file_to_convert

OLD

It seems that the conversion is not working in newer version (> 4.2.4.2) I'm using libreoffice 4.2.4.2 You can download older versions from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/4.2.4.2/

linux (using the deb package):

libreoffice4.2 --headless --convert-to pdf  myfile.odt

windows:

swriter.exe --headless --convert-to pdf myfile.odt

Might sound stupid but I suffered from just this: In Ubuntu 14.04 it is not enough to install only the package libreoffice-core or -common to convert to PDF, but you need to install libreoffice-writer instead/additionally. The important thing to note is that libreoffice-core|common seems to bring in some functional libreoffice base, hence the name ;-). That doesn't error out if executed to convert some file, but instead just seems to wait on some socket or such for input or whatever... After I installed libreoffice-writer, which has [...]-core|common as a dependency, converting some ODT file to PDF worked like a charm with the exact same command line like used before.

Seems a bit crazy that the application looks like it works somehow, but simply couldn't ever because of missing packages, and doesn't tell anything about it.

I'm using LibreOffice 4.2.8.2 too (on GNU/Linux) but I tried to convert a DOC file to a HTML file. I've installed libreoffice-headless, but the terminal was hanging too. I've tried each bullet of Kurt Pfeifle, but it was not working…

The solution was simple: installing libreoffice-writer (maybe libreoffice-filters is ok too, but it depends on libreoffice-writer plus the other big components of LibreOffice).

Hope this will help.

I had the same problem and got stuck for an entire day; silly me ended by figuring out that I was trying to convert from and to a network file system; even tho I have written right libreoffice seems to not support it, or at least not in my configuration.

I solved this by converting to /tmp then moving the file by hand. Hope it helps.

I encountered problems converting HTML to xlsx using libreoffice. Other convert-to options worked fine. Turns out it needed the --calc flag additionally. In case anyone else runs into the same trouble. Tested on LibreOffice-6.4.3.2.
