If you need to install PAF send me a private message and I'll send you the download. It's no longer supported by, or available from, FamilySearch.

You could download the FREE version of Legacy Family Tree http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/ .  This programme will open a .PAF file directly.  Then export a GEDCOM for WikiTree.

RootsMagic Essentials version (free) or a paid registered version will also directly open all PAF files. No conversion is required. The RootsMagic website also has instructional help pages and videos or webinars on importing PAF to RootsMagic
