Research direction

Reproduce the failure from the Files app's “Save as...” menu using the reported .docx or .odt examples and the listed richdocuments and Collabora versions. Trace the conversion request from that menu and compare the observed error with the expected PDF output. Done means the file converts successfully, keeps the original name with a .pdf ending, and is saved in the open directory.
