# jodconverter(1)

Office documents converter

## NAME

jodconverter - Office documents converter

## SYNOPSIS

**jodconverter** *input-document* *output-document*

## DESCRIPTION

**jodconverter** converts *input-document* into *output-document* by using the LibreOffice import/export filters.

Before you can perform any conversions you need to start LibreOffice in listening mode on port 8100 as described in the JODConverter Guide.

As a quick start you can type from a command line

- soffice --headless --accept="socket,port=8100;urp;"

  ## BUGS

Do not start concurrent executions of jodconverter, as LibreOffice doesn't handle multi‐threading reliably and would crash.
