soffice -invisible -convert-to xls myfile.xml
In this case convert a xml file to xls. If you want a PDF file just change to:
soffice -invisible -convert-to pdf myfile.doc
You can use any kind of files supported by OpenOffice as input, and can define the parameter -convert-to to any format supported by Open Office.
I will now just talk about xml to xls, because is very most trick. And to PDF is simple like that above, nothing more to say about it.
To generate a xml valid to Open Office is not easy because the character encode, in my case portuguese iso-8859-15. I had a nightmare, but at end was more simple than seemed.
I save my data in DB utf8_encode then I have to use this function stringToExcelXML to decode and convert to XML special characters format.
Below my PHP code that build the XML compatible with OpenOffice and MSOffice:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include '../include/config.php';
try {
$rows = MySQL::Create('SELECT * FROM `Client` WHERE `Name` LIKE ?name ORDER BY `Name`')
->Parameter('name', '%'.$_GET['name'].'%', 'string')
->Query();
} catch(MySQLException $ex) {
echo $ex->getMessage();
}
$outputFileName = 'export_'. date ('Ymd_His');
function stringToExcelXML($string){
$string = htmlspecialchars(utf8_decode($string));
$string = str_replace("\x01", "\x20", $string);
return $string;
}
$f = fopen('../export/'. $outputFileName .'.xml', "w");

This block of code below will wait the OpenOffice finish the creation of file XLS.
$excelFile = '../export/'. $outputFileName .'.xls';
while (true) {
sleep(1);
if (file_exists($excelFile)) {
sleep(100);
break;
}
}
This service made with shell script need still running all time to build XLSs using OpenOffice:
/var/www/services/openoffice_to_xls/openoffice_to_xls.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www/htdocs/export
while true
do
for f in `ls *.xml`
do
sleep 1
echo "$f"
soffice -invisible -convert-to xls "$f"
sleep 15
chmod a+rwx *.xls
rm -f "$f"
done
sleep 1
done
Turn the core.sh file as executable:
chmod +x /var/www/services/openoffice_to_xls/core.sh
A start script will be useful:
/var/www/services/openoffice_to_xls/start.sh
#!/bin/bash
rm -f /var/www/services/openoffice_to_xls/nohup.out
nohup /var/www/services/openoffice_to_xls/core.sh &
Turn the start.sh file as executable:
chmod +x /var/www/services/openoffice_to_xls/start.sh
Now just start the service:
/var/www/services/openoffice_to_xls/start.sh
All of this is very trick and to works with MSOffice 2010 and OpenXML... and to this work exists the PHPExcel that is much more elegant:
But to build office legacy files perhaps these tricks will be useful to do workarounds.
Have fun and good nightmares.
