This command is wrong, and I'm actually surprised it doesn't throw an error.
PDF files are associated by default with Draw, but "XHTML Writer File" is an
export filter of Writer. Obviously you can't use a Writer filter when exporting
a file loaded using Draw...

The solution here is to explicitly set the Writer pdf import filter with
--infilter="writer_pdf_import".

Other generic formats (like html, rtf or plain text) can just add "--writer" to
the command line, without specifying the input filter name, but this doesn't
work for PDF. This can also be reproduced from the UI: Trying to open a pdf
file from inside Writer, will still open it Draw.

Try --convert-to html:"XHTML Draw File".
