OpenDocument Drawing's weakness — limited adoption compared to Adobe Illustrator formats — is often the reason people convert to PowerPoint 97-2003, which counters this with backward compatibility with older PowerPoint versions. Created by OASIS, OpenDocument Drawing has become a standard in its category. PowerPoint 97-2003, developed by Microsoft, continues to gain adoption worldwide. You can convert files from cloud storage too — download from Google Drive or Dropbox, then drag into Xonvert.
