Batch-convert ODG to AI, CDR or JPG

Question

My wife has a medium-sized batch (around 100) of ODG files she needs to send to a print shop.

Since they won't take ODG files, we've sent hi-res JPG in the past. However, this is tedious because we weren't able to export JPGs with a high-DPI setting (we need 300, when exporting it looks like 75).

So, our current workaround is:

• Manually export to PDF from OOo
• Manually import to GIMP
• Save as JPG

Is there a way to automate or improve this process?

Exporting to either format is acceptable. I have Windows and Linux boxes available.

Answer 1

Well, turns out there's an extension to fix the DPI issue in OOo: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/EnhancedGraphicExportDialogs

Answer 2

ImageMagick will convert to/from odg as well. Don't know if it will handle your specific BPI issues, but it might be worth looking into.

Answer 3

On win7, using LO 4.1 I had to do the following (from command line, you probably need to convert %f to %%f if running in a cmd script):

set path=%path%;C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program
for %f in (*.odg) do (
    soffice.exe --headless --convert-to jpg --outdir "C:\tmp" %f
)

Notes:

• it will NOT work if any instance of LO is open!
• outdir IS required
• wildcards for input files are NOT supported (hence the for loop)
