    converting wpd file extension to pdf

    MetalShock Community Member

      I just purchased Acrobat 9 Standard.  Let me first say... I have never used this product, so hopefully no one gets frustrated with me.  I'm learning.

       

      I have probably 200 forms in WordPerfect [wpd] format that I want to convert to pdf, but when I attemp to open the document I get this message:

       

      "Acrobat could not open 'name of the file.wpd' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).  To creat an Adobe PDF document, go to the sourse application.  The print the document to Adobe PDF".

       

      I have used these files for years.  I am not sure what this means?  Someone please help.  I hope I didn't waste my money on software that can not do what I need it to do.  Oh yeah, if I convert the wpd file to doc I will open up in Acrobat and convert, but it messes up the format, margins, etc. of most of my documents.
