Just to make sure, you know that LibreOffice has the --convert-to option, 
so you can simply do:

        libreoffice --convert-to pdf <file1 ...>

There's also a tool I wrote that should work on Windows, Linux and MacOSX 
called 'unoconv', which offers some more functionality. It would be nice 
if all the functionality of unoconv would be integrated into LibreOffice.

 - influencing the import and export filters, similar to the import/export
   option dialogs in LibreOffice

 - apply template during conversion, so you can apply styling/formatting
   when converting documents

 - so it works when LibreOffice is already running, or multiple instances
   are running in parallel (e.g. for batch conversion)

Currently the --convert-to fails when LibreOffice is already running.
