Importing PADS footprint into Allegro 17.2

I am using Allegro 17.2 and I need to import some PADS footprints.

The footprints are given as four files, *.ld9, *.ln9, *.pd9, and *.pt9, how do I get Allegro to translate those files into a *.dra file?

The manufacturer gave me no other files, but Allegro seems to want to use a *.asc file or a *.ini file?

Thanks,

David
