This LibreOffice version is outdated.
LibreOffice-still.basic-x86_64.AppImage --help
reports:
--cat Dump text content of the following files to console
(implies --headless). Cannot be used with --convert-to.
but the following produces no output:
./LibreOffice-still.basic-x86_64.AppImage --cat test.odt
Does this feature work?
For a "test.odt" that contains the text "Test 123", this gives the
expected result for me for both, a current development version and the
Debian-provided LibreOffice 7.4.4:
$ libreoffice --cat /tmp/test.odt
Test 123
If it doesn't work with an up to date LibreOffice version, please report
a bug in our Bugzilla issue tracker (and attach the test.odt you're using):

Since you're using an AppImage version of LibreOffice, I'd also suggest
to first check whether it works when using the version from the official
LibreOffice download page [1] instead.
