Just came across an OOo macro called "Document Converter" that
purports to convert a batch of documents from any supported OOo format
into any other supported OOo format. It could, for example, be used to
convert a batch of OOo Writer documents into PDFs. Simple to use, with
an interface similar to OOo's AutoPilots.

Haven't used it, so can't speak to its functionality.
