unoconv converts between any document format that OpenOffice understands. It uses OpenOffice'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.

Until something like this is built into OOo, such a script is handy.

Perhaps the thread title should read, “Convert Between Any Major Document Format Supported by OOo,” as I don't see WordPerfect documents listed. It is not something that I need personally, but there are still a few Corel Office Suite users out there.

It may be a small oversight on Dag's part and could be fixed by a small change. Because I had problems with unoconv, I ended up writing
Batch command line file conversion with PyODConverter, and that script definitely supports wpd out of the box.

unoconv does convert from Wordperfect files to other files, but unoconv only lists the export-formats, not the import formats and Wordperfect is only supported in OpenOffice as an import format, not an export format. Maybe I should make that clear from the documentation/help.
I doubt that PyODConverter can convert to Wordperfect files.

Let me also add that the list of supported document formats is published here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wik ... st_OOo_3_0
It indicates what formats are supported as import, export or both.
