Description Marwan Gedeon 2011-10-11 07:46:45 UTC

to replicate
1) Open Writer or Calc using gnome menu
2) call this command: libreoffice3.4 --convert-to pdf myfile.doc
3) nothing will happen, as if having the GUI open interrupted the execution of the command.

I'm seeing the same issue.

When a GUI instance of LO is running, the convert-to CLI command fails to execute - and usually spawns another GUI window.  This occurs with other CLI commands as well, such as --print-to-file.
