How to Convert WordPerfect Documents to PDF
The Portable Document Format (PDF) extension was created by Adobe in 1993 for easy document exchange. It creates an image of the document which cannot be changed and which users can open no matter what software the document was created--as long as the user has the free Adobe Reader. If you have created a document in WordPerfect and want everyone to be able to read it, converting the file to a PDF is the way to go.

Tips & Warnings
Zamzar is also good if you need one type of file converted into something else. Try different combinations (i.e. pdf to doc) to find conversions which will make your life easier.
You can only convert a document that is 1GB or less. Make sure your file is less than that.
