PDF to OTB conversion is the process of transforming a Portable Document Format (PDF) file into an OTB (OpenText Binary or other application-specific OTB) document container so the content, layout, and embedded assets are preserved in the target OTB format. This conversion translates page elements, fonts, images, and metadata into the OTB representation so the file can be opened or processed by OTB-compatible software and workflows.
