Regardless of whether it can really convert Opendocument format
graphics into spreadsheets, there's a grammatical problem here:
"any format" is one thing, so you can't convert "between" it.

So just say:

  Description: converter between OpenOffice.org document formats

And you could borrow some language from the README, which has
slightly stronger pedant-proofing:

   This package provides a commandline utility which can convert from
   any document format that OpenOffice can import to any document format
   it can export. It uses OpenOffice's UNO bindings for non-interactive
   conversion of documents.

Why does PDF need to be expanded and RTF not?

I'm also curious to know how it handles .xml to .xml...
