--- Comment #2 from Robert Heller <heller at deepsoft.com> ---
OK, I'd like to make a comment and suggest a feature request.

First, could the documentation for --headless note that the DISPLAY variable
(and thus some sort of X Display) is still needed, even when the --headless
option is specified.  As it is now (as I read it), it is implied that
--headless means that things can be done without an X display -- this
appearently is not true.

Secondly, I'd like to see a purely CLI tool for converting word processing
documents (eg .doc, .docx, .rtf, etc.) to PDF.  A tool that does not need a
running X display (not even a dummy one).  Something that could be run on a
headless server or VM to batch convert documents.
