Holy schniekes... just got my first job supplied entirely as .odg files

It's some kind of google vector art. Has anybody worked with these before, and can tell me what kind of pitfalls am I falling in to?

I used zamzar to make them into pdfs. there were raster images embedded. zamzar converted some fonts to outlines. the resulting pdfs were rgb. I kicked back and said, "Thank you. Try again."
