Extract text from HND files
To convert your HND file to another format, you need HelpNDoc or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Documentation Project File" file type, you need software like HelpNDoc or a similar tool.
The .HND file extension is most frequently associated with HelpNDoc, a help authoring tool developed by IBE Software. This file acts as the master project container - essentially an SQLite database - storing your entire table of contents, topic articles, media assets, and keywords in a raw, editable state.
The primary frustration users encounter with .HND files is that they are not the final, consumable product. You cannot simply double-click an HND file to read a user manual; it is the source code for the documentation, not the documentation itself. To make the content accessible to end-users, this proprietary format must be compiled.
For distribution and reading, the best workflow is to convert the .HND project into widely supported formats: PDF for printing and archiving, CHM for standard Windows Help, HTML for web deployment, or DOCX for further editing in Microsoft Word. Less commonly, an HND file may contain Varian medical imaging data or Bridge card game records, which are completely incompatible with document readers.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HND file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

If you want to convert HND file to BSC, DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT or X_T, you can use HelpNDoc or similar software from the "Help Documentation Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SLDASM, DGN, PRT, IAM, X_B, CATPRODUCT, SLDPRT, RVT, ASM, DWG, CATPART or DXF files to HND, try HelpNDoc or another comparable tool in the "Help Documentation Project" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our HND converter.
