# ODS to PDF
Convert OpenDocument Spreadsheet files into PDF. ODS is the native format for LibreOffice Calc and a common export from Google Sheets. This tool renders your spreadsheet data, formatting, and charts into a paginated PDF you can print or share.
## Supported Formats
| Format | Extension | Notes |
| :----------------------- | :-------- | :-------------------------------------- |
| OpenDocument Spreadsheet | `.ods` | LibreOffice Calc / Google Sheets export |
## How It Works
1. Click the upload area or drag and drop your ODS files. Multiple files are supported.
2. Review the file list. Use the trash icon to remove files, or click **Add More Files** to expand the batch.
3. Click **Convert to PDF**. The LibreOffice-based engine loads in the browser and renders each spreadsheet into PDF pages.
4. A single spreadsheet downloads as a PDF. Multiple files are packaged into `ods-to-pdf.zip`.
## Options
No configuration is required. The converter applies the spreadsheet's existing print layout, cell formatting, and column widths to the PDF output.
## Use Cases
- Sharing a LibreOffice Calc budget or report with someone who only accepts PDFs
- Printing a Google Sheets export that was downloaded as ODS
- Archiving financial records in a non-editable format
- Submitting ODS-based forms or timesheets as fixed-layout documents
## Tips
- If your spreadsheet has multiple sheets, all sheets are included in the PDF output.
- Very wide spreadsheets may span multiple PDF pages horizontally. Consider adjusting column widths in the source file before converting if the layout matters.
- The LibreOffice engine initializes on first use. Subsequent conversions in the same session are faster.
