What is ARJ file?
The ARJ file extension is an archived file type used by various applications on the Windows platform. It is short for "archived by Robert Jung" and was developed by Robert K. Jung in 1993. ARJ files are used to compress and store data contained in other files, such as documents, photos, music, videos, and executable programs. The files consist of two distinct parts: an executable header section and compressed data, which is also stored in binary format. [ ⏩ ] ARJ file extension

How to convert the file from ARJ to PBK?
To successfully convert the ARJ file to PBK, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.ARJ). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case PBK (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than PBK).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. ARJ to PBK. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting ARJ files to PBK files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension PBK, while before this step we had the ARJ file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new PBK file, or not.
