Frequently Asked Questions

What about ODT-specific features (math equations, drawings)?

OpenDocument math (Formula) and drawings render correctly as the LibreOffice converter handles them natively.

Will fonts that aren't on the server cause problems?

Missing fonts get substituted. Embedded fonts in the ODT are honored.

Does it handle macros?

Macros are not executed — only the static document content is converted.
