What is an OpenOffice File?
Files created in the application Apache OpenOffice, an open-source office suite, are known as OpenOffice files. OpenOffice compares to Microsoft Office in a way that it also allows working with different file types, more specifically documents like:
- Text files with the .odt extension (like Word files)
- Spreadsheets with the .ods extension (like Excel files)
- Presentations with the .odp extension (like PowerPoint files)
Due to its ability to work with multiple file formats, OpenOffice is very popular. You can easily create reports, presentations, spreadsheets, and many other types of files with it.
However, when sharing these files, people who do not have OpenOffice installed on their systems may not be able to open them properly. This is the reason many users tend to convert OpenOffice documents into PDFs. PDFs allow a user to view a document on any device without the need for special proprietary software, and most importantly, preserve the document structure completely.

What is a PDF File?
A PDF (Portable Document Format) maintains the same format no matter which device is used to open it. The PDF format is ideal for sharing documents and files as it preserves the same text, images, fonts, and design.
PDFs are ideal for resumes, reports, forms, presentations, and eBooks. Above all, they are very convenient as they can be accessed on computers, tablets, and smartphones without special programs. They can also be secured by adding passwords to protect sensitive information stored in them.
Converting an OpenOffice file into PDF format allows the file to be shared more freely, viewed easily, and even printed without any issues. Most importantly, the layout will remain consistent regardless of the device the recipient is using.
