AW to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming a document stored in the AW format into the HRZ document format, preserving layout, text, and embedded objects where possible. This conversion adapts AW-specific structures (such as AW metadata and sectional markup) into HRZ equivalents so the file opens and displays correctly in HRZ-compatible readers and editors.

AW files are typically proprietary with limited support across platforms, whereas HRZ files offer broader compatibility and better compression. While AW format focuses on specific use cases, HRZ is designed for universal accessibility and efficient storage.
Keep source AW files under 100–250 MB for fastest and most reliable conversions; very large AW packages with many embedded assets may time out or require offline tools.
To preserve fidelity, choose HRZ-Archival output and enable "preserve embedded fonts" so typography and layout remain intact.
For bulk work, convert in batches of 10–25 AW files to avoid processing failures and monitor memory use; use HRZ-Lite for faster batch throughput.
If your AW file contains custom AW-only features (macros, proprietary scripts), expect those elements to be flattened or omitted in HRZ — export those elements separately before converting.
