Conversion can be performed whether or not the target applications are installed
on your system. However, to use the results, you need the applications
associated to the target file types you want to use (for example Microsoft Word
97, Microsoft Word 2000, Microsoft Word XP or Microsoft Word 2003 (SP1) for
.doc files, the same versions of Microsoft Excel for .xls files and Corel
WordPerfect 9 through 12 for .wpd files).
Note: Performance and speed will be enhanced if your computer's processor,
memory, and available disk space exceed minimum requirements. This is
especially true when converting very large color PDF files.
