Hi,

I'm announcing the first release of unoconv.

unoconv converts between any document format that
OpenOffice understands. It uses OpenOffice's UNO
bindings for non-interactive conversion of
documents.

Supported document formats include Open
Document Format (.odf), MS Word (.doc), MS Office
Open/MS OOXML (.xml), Portable Document Format
(.pdf), HTML, XHTML, RTF, Docbook (.xml), and
more. (24 document formats in total)

A future release will also support OpenOffice's 
spreadsheet, graphics and presentation formats
and will take care of interfacing with OpenOffice
autonomous.

In this first release we're looking for feedback
from interested parties and packagers for various
distributions.

unoconv: convert between any document format supported by OpenOffice

Posted Jul 17, 2007 1:38 UTC (Tue) by linda_octa (guest, #46292) [Link]

I tried to use unoconv-01 and -02 to convert single page pdf document to eps file and i get this error: C:\workspace\TestingPDFConversion>python.bat unoconv2. py -b eps -d g openofficepage1.pdf unoconv: error during conversion: The provided document cannot be exported to Encapsulated PostScript [eps].

I am using OpenOffice2.2 and have uno, python 2.3 installed. Conversion from odt to word, odt to pdf are fine. Any suggestion? I tried a lot of softwares for this converstion but I cant use them as I need to support Mac Os, Linux and window. One alternative is uses pdf2ps (in mac and linux) and then ps2epsi. --> need to get .bat file for window.

Hope i can get help asap...
Thanks
