X server need when using OO via command line

Hi,

I am using OO in a command line to convert RTF document into PDF document.

This translation is launched several times in parallel but my X virtual server under
solaris does not allow parallel connections. This makes translations fail ?

My question is : is there a way to make OO do not need a X server to execute
the translation ?

Thanks in advance,

Baptiste

In detail, the command line is :
soffice -invisible "macro:///SurcoufLibrary.Conversion.ConvertWordToPDF($1, $2)"

I call a macro which processes the conversion, maybe there is a better to use OO
for such a task ?

I am having a bit of a hard time understanding exactly the nature of your problem. You say you want to run the macro without using XServer, but that the problem is running your macro in parallel. These seem to be different problems here.

Indeed, OpenOffice is not a good choice for running parallel jobs. It tends to crash when inundated so its best to synchronize your calls and try the XVFB (Virtual Frame Buffer) as an alternative.
