Note: This option can be used if you do not have Adobe Acrobat's PDFWriter/Distiller installed. This option is not recommended because the file created is unnecessarily large.

  1. Create document in WordPerfect.
  2. Choose File > Publish to PDF ....
  3. In the Publish to file dialog box, choose a file location and file name. (Remember the file location and file name as you will need to browse to find this file when you electronically file the document in CM/ECF.)
  4. Click OK. By default, WordPerfect adds the extension .pdf.
