Understanding FODP and PDF file formats

FODP stands for Flat OpenDocument Presentation. It is an XML-based presentation file format used by LibreOffice Impress and other OpenDocument-compatible software. FODP files store presentation slides in a flat, human-readable XML structure, making them easy to edit and version control.

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Developed by Adobe, PDF is a widely used file format for sharing documents that preserve formatting, layout, and fonts across different devices and platforms. PDF files are ideal for distribution and printing.
