[Okular-devel] CLI/scripted mode for Okular?

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

I have several thousand XPS documents which I would like to convert to 
some more sane format (i.e. PDF).

Unfortunately, there are almost no Linux tools which open this format, 
not to say convert it into something else.

One tools which can convert it is GhostPCL[1] - unfortunately, it fails 
to open some documents properly (i.e. black areas on the document).


The only tool which opens these XPS documents properly is Okular - and 
it can "convert" the files just fine by feeding them to a PDF-printer.

Of course, doing it manually for so many documents is not the best way 
to go.

Can Okular be scripted? I.e. open file, print it to a specified printer, 
and quit?
