Convert WPD to PDF

.wpd

Corel WordPerfect

This is a text document file format created in 1980 by Satellite Systems International for their WordPerfect word processing software. Several versions of Microsoft Word can open WPD. In 1997, the production of DOS and Macintosh versions of WordPerfect were stopped while the current owners, Corel, continued producing the Windows version. WordPerfect was still the most popular office suite until 2years ago. In 1994, it was acquired by Novell and by Corell in 1996.

WPD was created for only processing formatted text, that is, the files with formatted texts. This formatting information is stored via tags and recognized as codes by WordPerfect. So, errors in formatting are easily detected because the programs highlight texts to be formatted. Just like the DOC, WPD files embed information from other sources like databases, templates, or spreadsheets.

Adobe Viewer

PDF – is a cross-platform extension necessary for the visualization of printed materials in electronic form. It is developed by Adobe Systems using separate PostScript resources. PDF documents can exist separately from the OS or hardware tools with which they were developed. Files of this format do not have restrictions on the length, several types, and image options, as they allow you to embed various multimedia tools, scan-line, and vector images. They are supported by Adobe Reader and many browsers, providing the plugin is installed.

PDF supports color models CMYK, RGB, shades of gray, and also it has its technical formats for performing the exchange of finished documents. Any file contains a description of a 2D or 3D document with all the necessary components (scan-line, vector graphics, text, and more). The extension does not encode data associated with the software or OS used to develop and view it.
