You meant:

while IFS= read -rd '' file; do
  autodock4 -p "$file" -l "${file%.dpf}.dlg"
done < <(find . -type f -name '*.dpf' -print0)

And that's assuming you don't actually need to 'cd' first (e.g.  because
there is some second file that it reads from $PWD, or who knows what).

Although I'd probably write it this way:

find . -type f -name '*.dpf' -exec bash -c '
  for file; do autodock4 -p "$file" -l "${file%.dpf}.dlg"; done
' _ {} +

assuming your version of find has -exec +, plus all the other assumptions
made so far.
