One page per visible slide
In our test the PDF had 5 pages from a deck of 6 slides, because the hidden slide was left out. The page size matched the slide, 28 by 15.75 cm, not A4.
ODP to PDF Converter
You get a PDF with one page per visible slide, sized like the slide, with text you can still select and search.
To convert odp to pdf, add the ODP file, keep PDF as the output and download the result. The page count follows your visible slides. In our test a 6-slide deck with one hidden slide became a 5-page PDF, speaker notes were not exported, and web links were dropped while an internal slide link and a mailto link survived. A PDF cannot hold animations or transitions.
Transfers use HTTPS, and files converted on the free tier are deleted after 24 hours, so the result is not a long-term archive. Quality depends on the source file, so open the PDF file once before you share it.

ODP (OpenDocument Presentation)
The slide-deck format of the OpenDocument standard, native to LibreOffice Impress and OpenOffice Impress. A ZIP package of XML parts (each slide is a draw:page in content.xml) standardised by OASIS and ISO/IEC 26300. It stores slides, speaker notes, transitions and animations, but the text is laid out with the fonts installed on the computer that opens it, so a missing font can change how a slide looks.

PDF (Portable Document Format)
A fixed-layout document that opens the same way on Windows, Mac, Linux, phones and in browsers. It stores text, fonts, images and links on pages, but no animations, transitions or editable slide objects.

Why use indox to convert ODP to PDF?
Fonts are embedded
In our test the PDF embedded LiberationSans, OpenSymbol for the bullets and Carlito, all as subsets. Text stayed real text, so you can select it, search it and copy it.
Calibri is swapped for a matching font
A text box set in Calibri was drawn with Carlito, a font with the same letter widths, so line breaks stayed in place. Calibri itself was not embedded.
Slide bookmarks
The PDF had 5 bookmarks, one per kept slide, titled Slide 1 to Slide 5. The deck title was kept in the document properties.
Tables and pictures
In our test table text stayed as text and a PNG picture was stored as a JPEG image of the same size inside the PDF.
What happens to your slides
Stays
- The text of every visible slide, still selectable
- Your original ODP, which is not touched
- The order of the slides and an internal link to another slide
Changes
- Hidden slides are not in the PDF
- Speaker notes are not exported
- Animations and transitions are gone
- https, http and shape links are dropped
- Calibri is drawn with Carlito
How do I convert ODP to PDF online?
- 1
Add your ODP file
Drop the ODP on the box or choose it from your device. Keep the original, because the PDF cannot be turned back into an editable deck without losses.
- 2
Confirm PDF, then start the conversion
Check that PDF is the output format, then start the conversion. We saw no extra settings for notes, hidden slides or page range. In our test a 6-slide deck took 11.1 seconds from the click to Completed.
- 3
Download the PDF and page through it
Save the PDF and check the page count against your visible slides. Look at fonts, the links that matter to you and any slide you rely on being present.
What do I get from indox's ODP to PDF converter?
Add an ODP and get a PDF that anyone can open, with nothing to install and no sign-up in our test. The page lists what the PDF leaves out: hidden slides, speaker notes, animations and most web links.
- A PDF page for each visible slide, at slide size
- Nothing to install, tested without an account
- Results measured on our own test decks
- A plain list of what is dropped
What are the limits for ODP to PDF?
Size
The upload box shows the live size limit before you add a file. Signing in raises it; a paid plan does not change it.
Formats
ODP in, PDF out. Pick another output on the converter if you need a different format.
Privacy
Files are encrypted in transit over HTTPS and processed on indox infrastructure.
Deletion
Free-tier files are kept for 24 hours after the job finishes, then deleted automatically.
Limits worth knowing
- There are no export options. We saw no way to include speaker notes, hidden slides, a slide range or PDF/A, so the PDF is made the same way for every deck.
- Web links do not survive. If readers must click a URL, write it out in the slide text and check it after converting. A mailto link and links between slides worked in our test.
- Fonts other than the ones the converter has are replaced. Calibri was swapped for Carlito and looked metrically the same, but a rare or decorative font may be replaced by a different one. Check the PDF before you send it.
- Our test decks were small and made by us, and were not opened in LibreOffice for a side-by-side check. Large decks, embedded video or audio and unusual layouts may behave differently.
When the result is not what you expected
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A slide is missing | It was hidden in the deck | Unhide the slide in Impress and convert again |
| Notes are not in the PDF | Speaker notes are not exported | Copy the notes onto the slides before converting |
| A web link does not click | https and http links were dropped in our test | Write the address out in the text and tell readers to copy it |
| The font looks different | The font was not available and was replaced | Use a common font or check the PDF before you send it |
| You need to edit the slides | A PDF is not an editable deck | Convert to PPTX with ODP to PPTX |

ODP to PDF FAQs
How do I convert ODP to PDF?
Add the ODP file to the converter in your browser, keep PDF as the output and download the result. Nothing is installed. In our test the whole run took 11.1 seconds for a small 6-slide deck.
Is it free and online?
It runs in your browser on indox.org. In our test we used it without an account and saw no limit, quota or paywall on a 34.6 KB file.
Are speaker notes kept?
No. In our test the text of the speaker notes was not in the PDF, and no notes pages were added. If you need notes on paper, copy them into the slides first.
Are hidden slides included?
No. The hidden slide in our test deck was left out, so 6 slides gave 5 pages. Unhide a slide first if it must appear.
Are animations and transitions kept?
No. A PDF is static, so a fade transition and an appear animation are not stored. Each slide appears as one page.
Do my fonts stay the same?
Mostly. The fonts used were embedded in our test, so the PDF looks the same on any computer. Calibri was replaced by Carlito, which has the same letter widths. A rare font may be swapped for another one.
Do links still work?
Only some. In our test mailto links and links to other slides worked, while https and http links, bare URLs and links on shapes did not. The link text itself stayed on the page.
Can I convert an ODP on a phone?
Yes. The conversion runs on indox infrastructure, so open the converter in the phone's browser, choose the file and download the PDF.
What is an ODP file?
The slide-deck format of the OpenDocument standard, used by LibreOffice Impress and OpenOffice Impress. It is a ZIP package of XML files standardised by OASIS and ISO/IEC 26300.
What if I need an editable file instead?
A PDF is meant for reading and printing. If you need to keep editing, convert to a presentation format such as PPTX with the ODP to PPTX converter.
