Hi. Thanks for your work. I was recently looking for a way to convert some KindWords documents I have so this looked promising. However I cannot get it to work correctly. Exporting to RTF missed text in document while PDF had more text but hadn't converted correctly. So far as I know my documents are KW2 format. I even added a doc extension if it mattered. But ConvertMojo thinks they are all text so the end result is a mess. KW files are IFF files. I cannot see any text in the binary that indicates it looks for IFF codes. But it is able detect WordWorth files that are also IFF. It could be because my files were used for mail merging but KW is able to load them regardless. I'll still need KW yet and will need to go through more documents.
New version uploaded. It's not perfecet in any way but should work better. As long as you are using rather "simple" documents that is. Try it out and let me know what you think.
I just tried it out with a KW test document saved from KW2. I'm afraid the result was the same. It still thought it was text. What I have noticed is that KW files are an advanced form of IFF. I don't know if they needed to be but it always saved as IFF catalogue files, IIRC, which is an IFF file embedded inside a CAT container.

Hi, I'm looking into this.
Thanks. I also managed to get KW running under UAE so I could generate a simple test document to compare. But the result was the same.
