How do I convert ODT to PDF for sharing or printing?
+
Upload the ODT and the converter renders it onto PDF pages with sensible defaults: A4 / letter size, 1-inch margins, embedded fonts. Multi-page sources (DOCX, XLSX) preserve page breaks; single-asset sources (images) get one page each.
Will the ODT to PDF conversion keep my fonts and formatting?
+
Yes for text-bearing ODT (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT) — fonts are embedded into the PDF so the output looks identical on every viewer. Image-only ODT (JPG, PNG) just centers the image on the page; layout is N/A.
Can I merge multiple ODT files into one PDF?
+
Yes — drop multiple ODT files into the upload zone and choose the "merge into one PDF" option. They appear as sequential pages in the PDF in upload order; drag-to-reorder is supported before conversion.
What page size and orientation will the PDF use?
+
Defaults: A4 portrait (international) or letter portrait (US). The advanced options expose page-size (A3, A4, A5, letter, legal, tabloid, custom) and orientation (portrait / landscape). For image ODT, "auto-fit" picks orientation to match the source aspect ratio.
Will hyperlinks in my ODT survive the PDF conversion?
+
Yes for ODT formats that have real hyperlink metadata (DOCX, ODT, HTML). Image-based ODT (JPG, PNG, TIFF) have no hyperlinks to preserve. The PDF file uses standard PDF URL actions so links work in every PDF reader.
Is the PDF searchable (selectable text)?
+
Yes when the ODT contains real text (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT). Image-based ODT produces an image-only PDF — to make it searchable, use /pdf-ocr/ after conversion to run optical character recognition.
Can I password-protect the PDF after conversion?
+
Not in this tool — convert ODT to PDF first, then use /pdf-protect/ to add a password, watermark, or restrict editing. Splitting the operations makes it easy to reconvert without re-typing the password.
How big will the PDF file be?
+
Depends on the ODT. A 10-page DOCX with embedded fonts produces a 200-400 KB PDF. A 10-image JPG batch at full resolution produces a 5-20 MB PDF. The advanced options expose a "compress images in PDF" toggle that recompresses embedded images at JPG quality 85.
Is my ODT file private during PDF conversion?
+
Yes — isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review of content.
Will the PDF pass print-shop preflight (300 DPI, CMYK)?
+
Defaults are RGB / 72 DPI (screen-optimized). For commercial print, switch the advanced options to CMYK / 300 DPI and the converter re-renders text at print resolution and converts embedded images to CMYK colorspace.
Does the converter work with scanned ODT images?
+
Yes — a scanned-page ODT (JPG, PNG, TIFF) converts straight to PDF. If you need the PDF to be text-searchable, follow up with /pdf-ocr/ to run OCR over the scanned pages.
Can I convert ODT to PDF and share it via email afterwards?
+
Yes — download the PDF and attach it to your usual email client. The PDF is portable and works with every modern PDF reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge).
