The PDF format was created by Adobe in 1993 to solve the problem of document appearance changing across different operating systems and printers.
Meanwhile, ODT (OpenDocument Text) was developed as part of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) standard, first released in 2006 by OASIS.
Unlike proprietary formats, ODT is an open standard that ensures document interoperability across different office suites and applications.
Interestingly, while PDF was originally proprietary, Adobe released it as an open standard in 2008, helping it become the ISO 32000 standard.
Today, PDF/A variants are specifically designed for long-term archiving, with embedded fonts and color profiles to ensure documents look identical decades later.
Converting ODT to PDF involves transforming OpenDocument content with formatting into a structured document with fixed layout properties.
ODT files are actually ZIP archives containing XML files that define document content, styles, metadata, and other components like images.
The conversion engine parses these XML structures and applies corresponding typography settings to create a visually consistent PDF document.
Advanced ODT to PDF converters preserve formatting elements like tables, lists, text alignment, and embedded images in the resulting PDF.
Modern converters also handle character encoding issues and ensure accurate representation of special characters and symbols in the final PDF document.
