WordPerfect Document Viewer For Mac

By default, WordPerfect files cannot be opened on a Mac. However, there are many solutions for this issue on the macOS app market. WordPerfect Document Viewer is a minimalistic utility that helps you open, view and export documents created with WordPerfect, Corel Corporation’s popular word processor.

WordPerfect Document Viewer makes it easy to open a WPD document: just drag and drop it to the app’s icon or window, or use the classic File > Open command. Users must note that the application is not a WordPerfect document editor, but rather a viewer and converter.

Thus, you can use the app to view WPD files with all formatting and export them to a more accessible format, such as PDF, TXT or RTF, which you can open and edit with another application. Just use the File menu option or the classic keyboard shortcut to export your WPD file.

The downside is that WordPerfect Document Viewer does not transfer the original formatting, such as columns, metadata, margins, page breaks, headers and footers in the converted doc. Unfortunately, the utility is designed to view WPD docs with all formatting elements, but not to export them as such.

WordPerfect Document Viewer supports documents created with almost all WordPerfect versions, including WordPerfect 1 - 3.5 for Mac and WordPerfect 4 - 11 for Windows. Moreover, WPD documents do not need to explicitly contain the “.wpd” extension to be opened with this app.

On the whole, WordPerfect Document Viewer is a reliable tool for macOS users who want to view and convert WPD documents.

Although it does not allow for editing and keeping all formatting in the conversion process, it is extremely easy-to-use and offers a seamless solution to work with WPD docs on your Mac.
