Hi Vedran,

look for dcop (kdcop).  It should be the start for your command line koffice 
-> pdf filter.

Search the koffice archives at http://lists.kde.org.

Yes, using the DCOP interfaces.
Check "kdcop" (from kdebase) to see part of what is available through DCOP.
Since there are python bindings for DCOP, you can use python.
Check out http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsarempt/python/tutorial.html
(found this link on
 http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/index.html) and, I just
 added to developer.kde.org the automation paper by Olaf Zanger, it should
 shortly appear as
 http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/automation/index.html
