[KS] Software note: opening HWP/HWPX files outside Korea without Hancom software

[rogan Park]

Dear colleagues,

With apologies for a brief software note, I thought this might be of
practical use to some members of the list.

Many documents from Korean government bodies, universities, research
institutes and archives are still distributed only in Hancom's HWP or HWPX
format. Microsoft Word cannot open these files, and on Mac computers in
particular there is often no simple way to read them without installing
Hancom software or creating a Hancom account.

I run a small free web tool, EZPZ File, which converts HWP and HWPX files
to PDF directly in the web browser. Nothing needs to be installed, no
account is required, and the file is processed on the user's own computer
rather than uploaded to a server, which may matter for unpublished or
sensitive material.

HWP to PDF: https://ezpzfile.com/hwp-to-pdf
HWPX to PDF: https://ezpzfile.com/hwpx-to-pdf
HWPX to the older HWP format: https://ezpzfile.com/hwpx-to-hwp

In the interest of transparency, I should mention that I am the developer
of the tool. It is free to use and does not require registration. I would
be very grateful for any feedback, particularly examples of documents that
do not convert well, so that I can improve it.

With thanks for your time, and to the moderators for maintaining the list.

Kind regards,
Ashton
