Everything ODT to PDF can do
Convert an OpenDocument text document to PDF with its layout intact.
Accurate conversion
- .odt converted with full support for the format
- Embedded fonts used, so type sets the way you saved it
- Styles inherited through numbering resolve as written
- Floating shapes keep the position the document gave them
- Charts drawn by the office engine rather than re-implemented
Layout that holds
- Table borders resolved the way the document defines them
- Right-to-left runs set in the correct direction
- Pictures sit at the size and place the document set
- Nothing is reflowed: the page you wrote is the page you get
The page you choose
- Page size: the document's own, A4, Letter, Legal or A3
- Portrait, landscape, or whatever the document already set
- Wide, Normal, Narrow or no margins at all
- Written into the document's own page layout before it renders
The finished PDF
- One PDF, named after your .odt
- Shown page by page in the browser before you download
- The page count stated with your finished document
- Compress, merge or edit the result from the same screen

Frequently asked questions about ODT to PDF
How do I convert an ODT file to PDF?
Choose your .odt file, change the paper size, orientation or margins if you want something other than the document's own, and press Create PDF. The PDF is made on our server, so there is nothing to install.
Will my formatting survive?
Yes. Fonts, tables, headers and page breaks come across as they are in the document.
Will the fonts look the same?
Usually. Fonts are embedded in the PDF, so it looks the same on every device. If your document uses a font our converter does not have, a close substitute is used; for Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri and Cambria that substitute has the same letter widths, so lines still break in the same places.
Can I change the page size, orientation or margins?
Yes. Paper can be A4, Letter, Legal or A3, in portrait or landscape, with wide, normal, narrow or no margins. Leave the defaults and the document keeps the page setup it was written with.
What happens to a table that is wider than the page?
It keeps the width it was given in the document. Tables made in LibreOffice or OpenOffice normally fit the text area and come across unchanged; if one was set wider than the page, choose landscape or narrower margins to give it room.
Can I convert several files at once?
One at a time here. To convert many in one go, put them in a .zip and use ZIP to PDF, which can merge them into one PDF or return a separate PDF for each.
Can I convert a password-protected file?
No. A document that needs a password to open cannot be converted. Open it in LibreOffice, save a copy without the password, and convert that.
Which files can I upload?
.odt files. For a .docx file, use Word to PDF.
Is it free?
Yes. Every tool works without paying and without an account. Files can be up to 200 pages and 80 MB, and a run that fails costs you nothing.
Do I need to create an account?
No. All tools work without signing in. An account raises your hourly allowance and lets you see what you have processed.
What happens to my file?
Your file stays on our server only for a short time while it is processed, then it is deleted. It is sent over an encrypted connection. We keep a record that the tool was used, but not the file name or what is in the file.
