Convert WB2 to PDF

Understanding wb2 and pdf file formats

WB2 is the file extension for Quattro Pro spreadsheet files, a format developed by Corel for its Quattro Pro spreadsheet application, which was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. These files store data in a tabular format, including formulas, charts, and formatting. PDF (Portable Document Format), developed by Adobe, is a widely used file format for sharing documents in a manner independent of software, hardware, or operating systems. PDF files preserve the layout, fonts, and graphics of the original document, making them ideal for distribution and printing.

Why convert wb2 to pdf?

Converting a WB2 file to PDF allows you to share your spreadsheet data with users who may not have access to Quattro Pro or compatible spreadsheet software. PDF files are universally accessible and maintain the original formatting, ensuring your data is presented as intended.

How to convert wb2 to pdf

Since WB2 is a legacy format, direct conversion options are limited. The most reliable method is to use Corel Quattro Pro (if available) or Corel WordPerfect Office suite, which supports opening WB2 files. Here’s how you can convert using Quattro Pro:

1. Open your WB2 file in Corel Quattro Pro.
2. Go to File → Print or File → Export (depending on your version).
3. Select PDF as the output format or choose a PDF printer (such as Adobe PDF or Microsoft Print to PDF).
4. Click OK or Print to save your spreadsheet as a PDF file.

Best software for wb2 to pdf conversion

• Corel Quattro Pro (part of Corel WordPerfect Office): The most reliable tool for opening and exporting WB2 files.
• Universal Document Converter: A virtual printer that can convert any printable file, including WB2 (when opened in Quattro Pro), to PDF.
• Zamzar and OnlineConvert: Online converters may support WB2, but results can vary and may require file format conversion to XLS/XLSX first.

Tips for successful conversion

• If you do not have Quattro Pro, try converting the WB2 file to XLS/XLSX using a file conversion tool, then export to PDF using Excel or another spreadsheet program.
• Always check the formatting and data integrity after conversion, as some features may not transfer perfectly.
