What Filee does for HWP → PDF
Filee renders HWP pages with rhwp, an open-source Hangul engine, so neither Hancom Office nor its approval dialog is involved. Useful for sending Korean documents to people who can't open HWP.
- Built in: works right after installing Filee, with nothing else to download.
- The merge preset combines all dropped files into one PDF.
- Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
- Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
- Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.
About HWP and PDF
PDF document
PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look the same everywhere: fonts, layout and images are fixed and it opens on any device. That also makes PDFs hard to edit.
