Extract text from HotDocs and HomePatrol files (HPD)
To convert HPD files to another format, you need HotDocs Player or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Document Assembly File" file type, you need software like HotDocs Player or a similar tool.
The .HPD file extension is notoriously fragmented. Most frequently, it represents a HotDocs PDF Document used in legal and corporate environments for automated document assembly, managed by HotDocs software. Alternatively, .HPD files are heavily used as radio scanner favorites lists by the Uniden HomePatrol Sentinel software, or as legacy print documents generated by HP LaserJet and HP SmartStream Designer.
Because of this extreme fragmentation, opening an .HPD file is often a frustrating guessing game. The HotDocs variant is a proprietary wrapper around a standard PDF, making it difficult to open in standard web browsers or document viewers without installing specific legal software. The Uniden variant locks your frequency data into specialized software that only runs on Windows. Meanwhile, HP print jobs are often tied to legacy hardware environments.
To escape these proprietary silos, conversion is essential. For HotDocs files, extracting them to a standard PDF or DOCX is highly recommended for archiving, printing, and easy sharing without a subscription. For Uniden scanner lists, converting the data to CSV or TXT allows you to edit frequencies freely in any spreadsheet application, even on macOS.

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 HPD converter.
