Universal Office Converter
unoconv converts between any document formats that LibreOffice understands. It uses LibreOffice's UNO bindings for non-interactive conversion of documents. Supported document formats include Open Document Format (.odt), MS Word (.doc), MS Office Open/MS OOXML (.xml), Portable Document Format (.pdf), HTML, XHTML, RTF, Docbook (.xml), and more, but image, spreadsheet and presentation formats are also supported.

Page size
When converting from .html to .doc, you get a page that's as wide as the longest sentence (which, of course, can be quite wide). Is there an option to force, for example A4 or US Letter in the generated document, if applicable?

If you cannot convert by opening/importing the file in OpenOffice and saving/exporting it to the desired output format, then unoconv is of no help either.
unoconv is designed to provide command-line batch conversion of files using UNO (Open Office bindings).
Conversion from pdf to eps
I tried to use unoconv-01 and -02 to convert single page pdf document to eps file and i get this error:
C:\workspace\TestingPDFConversion>python.bat unoconv2.
py -b eps -d g openofficepage1.pdf
unoconv: error during conversion:
The provided document cannot be exported to Encapsulated PostScript [eps].
I am using OpenOffice2.2 and have uno, python 2.3 installed. Conversion from odt to word, odt to pdf are fine.
Any suggestion? I tried a lot of softwares for this converstion but I cant use them as I need to support Mac Os, Linux and window. One alternative is uses pdf2ps (in mac and linux) and then ps2epsi. --> need to get .bat file for window.
