PMSE Licence → Wireless Workbench

Turn an Ofcom PMSE licence schedule PDF into files Shure Wireless Workbench can import.

Use it now, in your browser → This converter is part of RFutils, under Convert › Ofcom PMSE licence. It runs entirely on your own machine — your licence PDF is never uploaded anywhere.

This repository is the original standalone app, and it still works. The converter was merged into RFutils, where the PDF parser has been validated against a real Ofcom licence, so RFutils is where the work continues. Use the hosted link above unless you specifically want to self-host this one.

What it produces

Upload a licence schedule PDF and you get:

The .shw format is experimental and reverse-engineered. Shure does not publish it; the generator works by cloning verified XML fragments from a real Wireless Workbench 7 show file and substituting frequencies and names. Open the result in Wireless Workbench and check it before relying on it for a live show.
