What is PDF?
PDF preserves a document's exact layout, fonts and images so it looks the same on every device and printer. It is the standard for sharing, signing and archiving final documents, but it is designed to be read rather than edited.
What is OpenDocument?
ODT is the OpenDocument text format, an international open standard and the default in free office suites. It is fully editable and vendor-neutral, and Microsoft Word and Google Docs can open it, sometimes with small layout differences.
Tips for converting PDF to OpenDocument
- The OpenDocument file keeps the look of the PDF page, but the text arrives in separate text boxes (about one per line) and tables are not rebuilt as tables: small corrections are easy, long rewrites are not. To rewrite whole paragraphs, PDF to Text gives you the plain text to paste into a new document.
- Fonts that are not installed on our servers are replaced with similar ones, so check the layout of the converted file.
- Scanned documents are images: converting a scanned PDF will not make its text editable (that requires OCR).
- Password-protected files cannot be converted — remove the password first.
