Questions
Does converting PDF to ODT lose quality?
Single-column text reads well; tables and scans don’t.
What is the ODT format?
The open word processing format (ISO/IEC 26300), the default of LibreOffice and OpenOffice. It’s a ZIP with XML parts for text, styles and images, so browsers can convert it locally without any office suite.
What is the PDF format?
Portable Document Format, published by Adobe in 1993 and standardized as ISO 32000. It’s a page-description format: it stores text, vector shapes and images as drawing instructions rather than as pixels, so a page stays sharp at any zoom. A single file can carry hundreds of pages, embedded fonts and attachments, and every reader since renders it the same way.
Are the files uploaded?
No. The file is opened in this tab, converted here and saved from here. There’s no account and no watermark.
How many files can be converted at once?
Up to 200 per batch and about 2 GB per file, within the memory this device has available.
