ODG to PDF — Convert ODG to PDF with ease.
ODG is a popular format for vector graphic files. When it comes to exchanging and presenting documents, convert your ODG files to PDF. Here’s how it’s done.
You may use a graphic editing application to produce illustrations, drawings, or images. The resulting files are often created in the ODG format. ODG files are vector graphics that define images using points, lines, and shapes. For presenting and sharing images created in an ODG format, convert them to something more familiar to other users, like PDF. The ODG file format follows the XML-based specifications and the OpenDocument standards that are outlined by The Organization for the Advancement of Structural Information Standards (OASIS).
What is an ODG file?
An ODG, or OpenDocument Graphic file, is a vector image formed from lines, points, and curves. This file type is available within the Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice suites. ODG files store metadata from the drawings, such as the last time someone modified it, the content creator, and the date it was created. OASIS oversees the OpenDocument Standards, under which ODG file types fall. ODG files have an XML structure that is common in drawing files, spreadsheets, and text documents. These documents can be a combination of a variety of styles.
An OpenDocument file will contain the following:
- Document metadata
- Scripts
- Styles
- Document root
- Application settings
- Body element and document types
- Font face declarations
- Page styles and layouts
