Convert WPD to RTF

The WPD file extension stands for WordPerfect Document, a proprietary format used by Corel's WordPerfect word processing software. Introduced in 1980 by Satellite Systems International, WPD files can contain formatted text, tables, charts, images, and other objects. Primarily used in business, academic, and home environments, WPD files offer a versatile solution for creating documents like letters, resumes, and newsletters. Over the years, WordPerfect has been acquired by Novell and later by Corel Corporation, ensuring its continued evolution and support.

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.
