Conversion Between OpenOffice.org Document Formats

We sometimes need to convert one format of OpenOffice.org to
another. This isn't a very tedious
job, when you have a proper
convertor. One such useful tool is
Unoconv. You can install it from
System-> Administration-> Synaptic Manager
. I tried
downloading the package from:


http://packages.debian.org/lenny/all/unoconv/download

This package can also be installed from Synaptic Package Manager.
After you have installed, you
can start converting between different
file formats, using the command given below:


varsha@varsha-laptop:~$ unoconv -f pdf some-document.odt


You can replace the given formats with the formats you want to
convert.


For more information on how to use this conversion tool, refer the
following URLs.

  1. To convert pdf to odt, in case Unoconv doesn't work, you can use the online convertor http://pdftoword.com/.
