When to use ODP to PDF
For sharing an Impress deck as a handout or with someone who has neither LibreOffice nor PowerPoint. Each slide becomes one PDF page at the deck's slide dimensions. As with any deck-to-PDF conversion, animations and transitions are lost because a PDF page is static.

Troubleshooting
Builds appear all at once
Expected - every element renders in its final state on a static page.
Slide size does not match what you expected
Page size follows the deck's slide setup. Change it in Impress before converting.
The upload is rejected before anything happens
The file is over the 20 MB cap. Compress it first, or split a long PDF into smaller files and process them separately.

Frequently asked questions
No. Only the slides themselves are exported, one per page - notes live outside the slide and are not carried into the PDF.
