Inotifywait fires event twice when converting docx to PDF

I have a shell script with inotifwait installed like:

inotifywait -r  -e close_write,moved_to  -m "<path>/upload" --format '%f##@@##%e##@@##%w'

There are several docx files in the scanned directory, and some scripts convert docx to PDF with the following command:

soffice --headless --convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export <path>/upload/somedoc.docx --outdir  <path>/upload/

The somehow event is fired twice as soon as a PDF file is created. Entries are indicated as:

somedoc.pdf##@@##CLOSE_WRITE,CLOSE##@@##<path>/upload/
somedoc.pdf##@@##CLOSE_WRITE,CLOSE##@@##<path>/upload/

What else is wrong here?
