Installing unoconv on Windows
The instructions say: "Download and install LibreOffice for Windows." That's seems like it is necessary just because it installs Python. Is it not better to just install the standalone Python and set the unoconv.bat batch file that is mentioned in the article to point to that python.exe executable?
If I've understood what you're asking then no because LibreOffice itself is required. unoconv.py is a Python script which uses LibreOffice to convert between document types (e.g. Word to PDF).
