Unlike other systems, Octopad supports a vast array of file formats, from standard ones, like Word, Excel and Powerpoint, to more specialized ones for your complex operations.
Following is a detailed list of all the supported file formats.
Important note: if you select to upload a file with an unsupported format, then the file will simply not upload and you won’t see it among the documents to be uploaded in the project you have created … no matter how many times you select it 😉
Document

We support OpenOffice and LibreOffice document formats (.odt, .ods and .odp) but it is recommended to convert to MS Office formats before importing for optimal results.
