Autoprint functionality

[wintermeyer]

Would it be much work to create a Docker container which prints a given LibreOffice document to a PDF. The PDF should be saved afterwords and the container terminated. That would be such an awesome feature.

Isn't this functionality already baked into LibreOffice via:

File -> Export as PDF

But that needs a human to control it. Cool would be a Docker instance which does that automatically and just spits out the PDF.

Interesting idea, it looks like LibreOffice has the --convert-to argument, just need to pass this into the runtime script.

I'd just like to add a note on the syntax for PDF->HTML

So for this it would require a mounted writable volume, mounted readable source, it's unlikely it could be added to a dockerfile as a command for the entrypoint script.
