What is an ODT to PDF converter?

An ODT to PDF converter takes an OpenDocument text file and saves it as a PDF. People use it to convert an ODT file to PDF, turn an open document into a PDF, or change a LibreOffice Writer file into pages anyone can open. This page does that in the browser: you upload an unlocked .odt file and download a PDF. Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and PNG or JPEG pictures are kept. The pages are reflowed onto A4 or US Letter.
