Hello,

I am creating tables with R and save the output as RTF files. Is there a server-mode/CLI/headless to convert RTF files to PDF with OpenOffice?

Note: I also considered using libreoffice, however reading my RTF files with Libreoffice has several issues (wrong font, mismatches in the table), and therefore I would rather like to use OpenOffice (where the output looks correct). As I have to do this for many files once a day, I am looking for a solution that I can automate on a Linux server.

Thank you for your help!

PS: Hope I added this to the correct forum ...

Your problem disappears if you can avoid RTF from R and create the PDF directly:
Export all the content of R script into PDF
Cookbook for R » Graphs » Output to a file
14.1 Outputting to PDF Vector Files
How to Save Multiple Plots to PDF in R
Export R output to a file

.rtf files are pretty rubbish - see [Tutorial] Differences between Microsoft and AOO/LO files for a discussion. Save as .odt is best.
