What changes
- WordPerfect is opened by our office engine headless and exported as OpenDocument Text, prioritizing office fidelity for wpd-to-odt.
- Paragraph styles, tables, images, headers, footers, and page breaks are preserved when our office engine can map them.
- Macros, scripts, document automation, and active form behaviour are not executed or preserved in the output.
- Missing fonts are substituted by server fonts, so line breaks and pagination can shift from the authoring machine.
- Tracked changes are accepted as the visible document state; reviewer comments may not appear unless they are visible in the exported view.
- The destination office file is editable but may not keep application-specific templates, themes, or unsupported controls exactly.

- Fonts that are not installed on our servers are replaced with substitutes, so lines can wrap differently.
- WordPerfect equations are not converted and leave a gap.
- Redline and strikeout become red and struck-through text, not tracked changes.
Options

- Override the office engine convert-to filter string when an advanced workflow needs a specific export filter.
