ODT is the OpenDocument Text format used by LibreOffice Writer, OpenOffice and many open-source and public-sector setups. If the person you send a file to has only Word, a PDF is the safest format.
Quick answer
Add the ODT file, convert, and download the PDF. Headings, paragraphs, lists and tables are kept.
Why convert to PDF
- It looks the same everywhere. No missing fonts or shifted layout.
- Easy printing. Page breaks stay put.
- Hard to edit by accident. Good for final copies.
- Accepted by almost every portal that takes documents.
Steps
- Open the tool and choose the ODT.
- Convert.
- Download the PDF and check it.
What to check
- Special fonts: they may be replaced by standard ones.
- Page headers and footers.
- Complex tables and images placed in unusual ways.
Tips
- If you want an editable copy for someone with Word, use ODT to Word (DOCX) instead.
- To get only the words, use ODT to Text.
- Use Protect PDF if the file contains private information.
Conversion runs in your browser and your file never leaves your device.
