ODP to PDF Converter for LibreOffice Impress Presentations
Convert ODP to PDF for free: upload an OpenDocument Presentation and LibreOffice Impress exports every visible slide as one PDF page. The PDF keeps the slide size, text and images, so anyone can open the deck without a presentation app.

Converting ODP Presentations to PDF: What Carries Over
ODP is the presentation format of LibreOffice Impress and Apache OpenOffice, and the people you send slides to may not have an app that opens it. A PDF shows each slide the same way in any browser or PDF reader, on any device.
This converter runs LibreOffice Impress on our server to export your ODP file as a PDF. You don't need an account or any office software.

What carries over from ODP to PDF
OpenDocument, the family ODP belongs to, is an OASIS standard that's also published as ISO/IEC 26300, and LibreOffice saves in it by default. So LibreOffice is the obvious engine for this conversion.
Each visible slide becomes one PDF page, in slide order, at your presentation's slide size. Text, shapes, images and backgrounds stay the way they look on the slide.
The PDF is a static copy. Animations and transitions don't play, so a slide shows its finished state, and hidden slides and speaker notes get left out.
Hidden slides, notes, fields and custom shows
In October 2026 we built a 3-slide ODP to see what the Impress-only settings do: slide 2 hidden, speaker notes on slide 1, a slide number and a date field on every slide, and a custom slide show holding only slide 3.
| In the ODP | In the PDF |
|---|---|
| Slide 2 hidden | Left out: 2 pages, slides 1 and 3 |
| Speaker notes on slide 1 | Left out; the note text is not in the PDF |
| Slide number field | The slide's number in the deck, so PDF page 2 reads 3 |
| Date field set to update | The day of the conversion, written 10/22/26, not the date stored in the file |
| Custom slide show of slide 3 only | Ignored: every visible slide is exported |
That date field is the one we'd fix first: set it to Fixed in Impress before you upload, and a fixed copy of the same field printed the stored date, 1/1/20. To export only the slides of a custom show, hide the other slides, or cut the pages you need out of the PDF afterwards.
Fonts, charts and other things to check
If the presentation uses a font that isn't installed on our server, LibreOffice puts a similar one in its place, and that can move line breaks. Look over slides with tight text boxes or crowded chart labels after the conversion.
A file that was only renamed to .odp from another format may get rejected or come out incomplete. Open it in its own app and save it as a real OpenDocument Presentation first.
Only want to share part of a finished deck? Cut out the slides you need with Extract PDF Pages. A deck with lots of photos can be made smaller with our PDF optimization tools.
Other presentation and OpenDocument files
For PowerPoint files use PPTX to PDF, and for OpenDocument text files use ODT to PDF. To join presentations with Word or Excel files in one PDF, use Merge Office to PDF, which takes ODP too.
To get from a PDF back to an editable Impress file, use our PDF to ODP converter. We convert your files on our own server, not through an outside service, and delete them automatically within two hours.
What happened when we tested ODP to PDF
We converted sample.odp, a small 15.8 KB test presentation with one title slide. The result, sample_ODPToPDF.pdf, was 21.7 KB and one page, ready 0.8 seconds after we clicked Convert on our local test server.
The page measured 720 by 540 points (10 by 7.5 inches), the 4:3 slide size of the file, and its title and subtitle text stayed selectable. Tested in October 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions about converting ODP to PDF
What is an ODP file?
ODP is an OpenDocument Presentation file, usually made with LibreOffice Impress or Apache OpenOffice.
Will my slide formatting be preserved?
Yes, as far as LibreOffice can draw it. Layouts, text, images and slide order carry over, and missing fonts get replaced with similar ones.
Are speaker notes or hidden slides included?
No. The PDF holds only the visible slides.
Can I convert several ODP files at once?
Yes. Select several presentations; each one becomes its own PDF, and they download together in one ZIP.
