PAQ is an archive and compression format designed to reduce the size of stored data. A .paq8jd file can contain one or more files and directories packaged as a single compressed archive.
PeaZip is an open-source file archiver that supports this PAQ variant. On Microsoft Windows, it can be used to inspect the archive and extract the files stored in it.
On Microsoft Windows, open the .paq8jd file with PeaZip. Use the program to view the archive contents and extract the files to a folder.
A .paq8jd file is an archive, so it is not normally converted directly to another document format. Extract its contents with PeaZip, then create a new archive in a format supported by the intended application if necessary.
