In vielen Konstruktionsbüros, Entwicklungsabteilungen und Ingenieurbüros im deutschsprachigen Raum sind KWord-Dokumente (KWD) nach wie vor anzutreffen. Oftmals entstehen diese aus älteren Projekten oder werden in spezifischen Linux-Umgebungen weitergenutzt. Wenn es jedoch darum geht, diese Inhalte nahtlos in standardisierte Geschäftsprozesse zu integrieren, für die gemeinsame Bearbeitung in Microsoft Office-Umgebungen vorzubereiten oder sie Dritten ohne spezielle Software zugänglich zu machen, führt kein Weg an einer Konvertierung vorbei. Unser Dienst ermöglicht Ihnen, Ihre KWD-Dateien effizient und zuverlässig ins DOC-Format umzuwandeln. Dabei legen wir größten Wert auf den Erhalt der Formatierung und den Schutz Ihrer Daten, um den hohen Anforderungen an Dokumentenstandards und Datenschutz gerecht zu werden, die in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz gelten. Verabschieden Sie sich von Kompatibilitätsproblemen und optimieren Sie Ihren Dokumenten-Workflow.
- Archivierung von Bauplänen und technischen Spezifikationen
- Austausch von Projektberichten mit externen Partnern

Die Umwandlung von KWD zu DOC ist in der DACH-Region besonders relevant, da KWord zwar historisch in einigen spezialisierten Linux-Umgebungen genutzt wurde, Microsoft Word (DOC/DOCX) jedoch der unangefochtene Standard für Geschäftsdokumente geblieben ist.
