PDF to ODT converter

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format developed by Adobe in the early 1990s and used widely for distributing documents across networks and intranets. PDFs are designed to maintain the formatting of a document, and can contain text, images, hyperlinks, and 3D objects. PDF files are typically much smaller in size than their native counterparts and can be accessed on a range of devices, including mobile and tablet.

PDFs can be protected with passwords or digital signatures to prevent editing. They can also be locked from printing or copying. Furthermore, they offer text searching support, allowing users to easily locate material within a file. PDFs are often used for sharing official documents between organizations due to their security feature-set.

The OpenDocument Text (ODT) file format is an open standard for text documents. It is based on the XML file format and is the default file format of LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. ODT files are capable of storing plain text, as well as basic formatting and styling information, including fonts, font sizes, bold, italic, underlining, lists, tables and many other features.

ODT files can be easily opened with any software that supports the ODT file type. They are widely used in many business scenarios and can be converted to other text-based file formats, such as PDF, DOCX and HTML. They can also be shared easily over email or cloud storage.
