File Conversion Filter Names
Tables with filter names for command line document conversion.
Usage
Filter names are used when importing and exporting files in alien formats and converting files formats through the command line.
soffice --convert-to OutputFileExtension[:OutputFilterName[:OutputFilterParams[,param]]] [--outdir output-dir]
If --convert-to is used more than once, last value of OutputFileExtension[:OutputFilterName[:OutputFilterParams]] is effective. If --outdir is used more than once, only its last value is effective. For example:
--convert-to pdf *.doc
--convert-to pdf:writer-pdf-Export --outdir /home/user *.doc
--convert-to "html:XHTML Writer File:UTF8" *.doc
--convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8" *.doc
soffice --infilter="InputFilterName[:InputFilterParams[,param]]"
--infilter="Text (encoded):UTF8,LF,Liberation Mono,en-US".
