What is an SDA file?
SDA is the legacy presentation file format used by StarOffice Impress and early versions of OpenOffice.org, the predecessor suites to today's LibreOffice Impress. It stores slides, layouts, and embedded media using StarOffice's original binary document model, which was later replaced by the OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) standard. SDA files are now mostly encountered when migrating very old StarOffice archives to modern presentation software.
How to open an SDA file
LibreOffice Impress can open SDA files directly thanks to built-in legacy StarOffice format support, automatically converting the content into its modern editing environment. Apache OpenOffice Impress also retains compatibility with this older format.
