1 Summary 
----------

  Various issues with converting from an odt file to other formats
  using the LibreOffice command-line option "--convert-to".

2 Version information 
----------------------
  Tested with LibreOffice 3.4.5 OOO340m1 (Build:502) Windows build.

3 Details of the attachment and the issues there of 
----------------------------------------------------

3.1 libreoffice-bugs.org 
=========================
   
   Input file in Emacs/Orgmode format. See
   [http://orgmode.org/]. Attached for my own reference.
   

3.2 libreoffice-bugs.odt 
=========================

   ODT file created by the Emacs/Orgmode exporter. See
   [http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html] and
   [http://orgmode.org/manual/OpenDocument-Text-export.html#OpenDocument-Text-export].

   This file used as the input file for all the conversion operation
   listed below.

3.2.1 Issues with ODT file 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The data-style-name option is not honored. Irrespective of what
    style name I choose, the date is rendered the same way -
    "14/02/12" - in the GUI.



  <text:date style:data-style-name="N75" 
             text:date-value="2012-02-14T00:00:00+05:30">
    14 Feb 2012
  </text:date>


3.3 libreoffice-bugs.pdf 
=========================

   Command used to produce this pdf file.

   Executing soffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir tests/ tests/libreoffice-bugs.odt
   convert tests\libreoffice-bugs.odt -> tests\libreoffice-bugs.pdf
   using writer_pdf_Export

3.3.1 Issues with PDF file 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    None. Looks good.

3.4 libreoffice-bugs.doc 
=========================

   Executing soffice --headless --convert-to doc --outdir tests/ tests/libreoffice-bugs.odt
   convert tests\libreoffice-bugs.odt -> tests\libreoffice-bugs.doc using MS Word 97

3.4.1 Issues with DOC file 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    - TOC levels are not preserved. The doc file shows only the
      top-level headings in the TOC. This is an inconsistency.
    

3.5 libreoffice-bugs.docx 
==========================

   Executing soffice --headless --convert-to docx --outdir tests/ tests/libreoffice-bugs.odt
   convert tests\libreoffice-bugs.odt -> tests\libreoffice-bugs.docx using Office Open XML Text

3.5.1 Issues with DOCX export 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    1. Author field is getting clobbered. It reads as below:

                   "AUTHOR DocInformation:Created"

    2. The embedded image is stripped from the output. This is a
       serious bug.

The files doc and docx file were opened within LibreOffice. I *do not* have a Microsoft Office suite installed on my machine.

Thanks for bugreport
I agree that problem with command line conversion exist. We have some another bugreport, describing this problem. They not fixed yet.

Compare Bug 40186 - "Command-line conversion from HTML produces HTML, not RTF, DOC, etc."

Similar issue perhaps, i reported: #67005
Attached a docx file that in export to PDF via command prompt the TOC is completely missing.

When doing the same using UI it produces a clean PDF.

The sample file is attached to that issue, for those who do not have MS office to reproduce.

Thanks!

Looks like multiple bugs in one report -- please try to keep issues simple and targeted so it's easy for us to reproduce and hand-off to a developer.

I'm just going to choose one of the listed issues...

Possible Repro:

The Author line in the original ODT appears as "Jambunathan K". In the docx output, the line appears as "AUTHOR Jambunathan K"

NoRepro - The nifty unicorn image is present in the docx output.

I'm going to tentatively change Status -> NEW and note that the 'AUTHOR' field might be incorrect.
