Hi I have a bunch of .sxw files I have to make into .pdf. Is there a command line way of doing it rather than have to open every one in OOo and then convert to pdf? SuSE 9.2 Cheers Steve

There *is*, but it's not exactly straight forward. One option involves running a "headless" OOo as a server, then putting together some code/script that will call up the services you need. I tried getting it to work a while back, but never quite got that far. Alternatively, the .sxw file is XML so perhaps it could be transformed to SGML, and then use Jade to produce PDFs? I'm pretty certain this has been done. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - sign up for your free 30-day trial now!

You can it do with more ease. A short googling [1] brought up this [2]. Converters offen following the naming conventions i asked for!

Hi and thanks. Are pdf's any more secure than read only .sxw's? Cheers, Steve.
