convert odt to pdf via the command line
 

I have a bunch of .odt files that I want to convert to pdf. Is there any
tool that can do it? apt-cache search did not show anything helpful nor
did google.


Last time I needed this, I ended up adding a pdf printer and printing
the documents to that printer using the -pt option of oowriter.


However, it is not very reliable, since the command returns immediately
and the pdf is available only after some time. Makes it tricky to write
a script that has to use the generated pdf.


Any pointers will be helpful.

Thanks,
Raj Kiran

Strange, I should have a different question when asking Google :
batch export openoffice pdf

I'm using unoconv for this work.



Unfortunately for me, unoconv is only available on lenny and later. For
etch, the script pointed out by François Cerbelle does a fairly good job.


Thank you.
