ODT to PDF – OpenDocument Text to PDF

Preview (from ODT)

ODT is converted to HTML, then to PDF (like HTML to PDF). odf-kit focuses on structure and text; embedded images, advanced styles, or complex layouts may be limited. Script tags are stripped from the HTML used for PDF.

How ODT to PDF works here

An .odt file is a ZIP archive of XML and assets. We parse the document body into HTML, then use the same HTML-to-PDF pipeline as our HTML to PDF tool.

Complex page layout, custom fonts, and some embedded objects may simplify in HTML; for pixel-perfect output, export from LibreOffice or Word on the desktop.
