LibreOffice - Convert Documents to PDF

Convert your documents to PDF format using LibreOffice. This guide shows you how to perform batch conversions and handle files in nested folders.

Basic PDF Conversion

Convert all PPTX files in the current directory to PDF:

libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf *.pptx

Specifying Output Directory

Convert DOCX files and save the resulting PDFs to a different directory:

libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf *.docx --outdir ~/docs/

Converting Files in Subfolders

Use fd (a find-like command) to locate and convert documents recursively:

fd -e doc -e docx -x libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir {//} {}
