Not sure about Windows, but here is the output of the '--help' command in linux. I suspect that the same commands are also available in Windows. /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/soffice --help LibreOffice 3.4 340m1(Build:101) Usage: soffice [options] [documents...] Options: --minimized keep startup bitmap minimized. --invisible no startup screen, no default document and no UI. --norestore suppress restart/restore after fatal errors. --quickstart starts the quickstart service --nologo don't show startup screen. --nolockcheck don't check for remote instances using the installation --nodefault don't start with an empty document --headless like invisible but no userinteraction at all. --help/-h/-? show this message and exit. --version display the version information. --writer create new text document. --calc create new spreadsheet document. --draw create new drawing. --impress create new presentation. --base create new database. --math create new formula. --global create new global document. --web create new HTML document. -o open documents regardless whether they are templates or not. -n always open documents as new files (use as template). --display <display> Specify X-Display to use in Unix/X11 versions. -p <documents...> print the specified documents on the default printer. --pt <printer> <documents...> print the specified documents on the specified printer. --view <documents...> open the specified documents in viewer-(readonly-)mode. --show <presentation> open the specified presentation and start it immediately --accept=<accept-string> Specify an UNO connect-string to create an UNO acceptor through which other programs can connect to access the API --unaccept=<accept-string> Close an acceptor that was created with -accept=<accept-string> Use -unnaccept=all to close all open acceptors --infilter=<filter> Force an input filter type if possible Eg. -infilter="Calc Office Open XML" --convert-to output_file_extension[:output_filter_name] [-outdir ouput_dir] files Batch convert files. If -outdir is not specified then current working dir is used as output_dir. Eg. -convert-to pdf *.doc -convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export -outdir /home/user *.doc --print-to-file [-printer-name printer_name] [-outdir ouput_dir] files Batch print files to file. If -outdir is not specified then current working dir is used as output_dir. Eg. -print-to-file *.doc -print-to-file -printer-name nasty_lowres_printer -outdir /home/user *.doc Remaining arguments will be treated as filenames or URLs of documents to open. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
