Working with InPage files (INP) is difficult since you need special software to open them. So, you may want to convert InPage to PDF. Here's the ultimate guide for doing that. Follow these tips, and you can easily and efficiently do the conversions.
An InPage file is a text file created by Urdu InPage - a page layout software and word processor developed by an Indian IT company. The software enables users to create documents in Urdu, Arabic, Persian, and English, with Urdu being the main focus. The text is saved in the Noorinastaliq font, a font that displays Urdu in the Nastaliq script.
Unlike other file formats, the INP format is not universal. You need to install a specific program to open InPage files. That program is none other than the Concept Software Urdu InPage software.
Here are the different methods for converting InPage files to PDF.
We recommend converting an INP file to PDF, a universal file format. Then, use a PDF editor to edit the document. Doing this will make it easier to edit the file, as only some people are familiar with InPage. You may not be one of them. Furthermore, the recipient of the file (if you are sharing it with someone) will not have to install InPage to view the document.

So, which of these four methods should you use to convert INP to PDF? Here's a comparison table to help you decide.
Suppose you don't want to install another program. You can follow the InPage method. However, only do this if you already have a PDF viewer installed on your computer. Otherwise, you will not be able to check the document after the conversion.
Choosing the PDFelement method is wiser. It's as easy as the InPage method. However, PDFelement is also a PDF reader and editor. So, you can use it to check or modify the document after the conversion.
Suppose you don't want to deal with a program installation. Or perhaps your computer can't install another program. You can use online tools instead. Online2PDF and HiPDF are two great choices. You can use these web services to process PDF files for free.
The two online tools have common caveats. They don't accept INP as input. Furthermore, you can't use them if you don't have internet access. There's no problem with using Online2PDF. But HiPDF is the better choice since it also offers PDF editing tools.
That said, here's our ranking:
