Joyce Fetterman wants to convert a mixture of HTML and WordPerfect documents
to PDF:
WordPerfect 9 has an HTML editor and can translate between HTML and
WordPerfect native format. WP7 onward also have quite good SGML facilities.
Java etc. excluded, you should be able to import the HTML to WP. However,
you will need to do some editing.
WP9 has a "publish to PDF" function. Unfortunately, it works about as well
as Word's master documents. That is, you might get away with using it, but
no guarantees! IME, the best route is to 'print' to Acrobat Distiller. If
you don't have Acrobat, GhostScript (http://ghostscript.com/) works nearly
as well (although it can be fiddly). So, you have three potential ways to
get from WordPerfect to PDF.
