Open and fill in an HWP form
Korean government offices, universities and grant programs often hand out application forms as HWP or HWPX files. These are documents from Hangul, a Korean word processor, so they may not open in Word or Google Docs. EDIT reads the form for you and helps you fill it in, keeping the original layout.
What is an HWP file?
HWP and the newer HWPX are the file formats of Hangul (Hancom Office), the word processor most Korean public offices use. A grant or application form in this format usually has tables with labeled boxes: company name, representative, business registration number, plans, budget and so on.
How EDIT helps
- Upload the .hwp or .hwpx form. EDIT shows its pages in your browser and finds the boxes you need to fill in.
- Upload your own documents (company profile, résumé, plans), in English or Korean. EDIT puts the facts it finds into the right boxes.
- Anything your documents do not say, EDIT asks you instead of making it up.
- Check and edit each box on screen, then download the filled form as HWPX, HWP, PDF or Word.
What EDIT does not do
- It is not a general file converter. If you only need to read an HWP file, a free HWP viewer is enough.
- It does not submit anything for you. You review the form and hand it in yourself.
- Korean forms are filled in Korean, the way the agency expects them.
You can try a form before signing up. Downloading a finished file needs an account and a paid plan or a one-time purchase for that document.
Questions
- Can I open an HWP file without Hangul?
- Yes. Upload it to EDIT and its pages show in your browser. To fill it in and download the result, follow the steps above.
- Can I turn an HWP form into Word or PDF?
- When EDIT fills a form, you can download the result as Word or PDF as well as HWPX and HWP.
- Do I need to write in Korean?
- No. You can use the English screen and upload documents in English. The form itself is written in Korean.
