I generate documents programmatically, and use LibreOffice (headless) to turn
them into PDFs. Is there a way to optimize column widths
programmatically/headless too? The `use-optimal-column-width` property would be
awesome but I understand it is not supported yet. I tried writing a macro but
could only get it to work while selecting something (i.e. impossible to use
headless).</pre>
