AW to PALM conversion is the process of transforming documents saved in the AW (AdvancedWriter) format into the PALM (Portable Annotated Layout Module) format, preserving layout, text, and embedded assets where possible. This conversion enables AW-origin files to be opened, viewed, or annotated in PALM-compatible readers and workflows.
