Why convert ODT to PDF
ODT is common in public administration and universities, but Word opens it imperfectly and phones often not at all. PDF removes the guesswork.
The conversion uses the same rendering engine as LibreOffice itself, so styles, footnotes, tables of contents and tracked changes behave as their author intended.

About the formats
ODT · OpenDocument text · .odt
The open document format used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice Writer, and required by several governments for public documents.
- ODT is an ISO standard (ISO 26300) and fully documented, unlike DOC.
- Word can open and save ODT, but complex formatting may shift.
- Like DOCX, an ODT file is a ZIP archive containing XML.
PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf
The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.
- A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
- Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
- PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.
