How To Convert Microsoft Publisher Files to PDF
A format that anyone can open
Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing program that lets you create publications for web or print.
However, not everybody uses Publisher these days. For example, you may want to send a PUB file for review or printing, but the recipient can’t open it because they don’t have Publisher installed on their device.
One of the best ways to share the file and ensure that others can open your publication is to convert the Publisher file to a PDF file.
Whether you’re working on an eBook, greeting card, or other publication, we’ll show you how to convert Publisher files to PDF format and make it shareable.
How To Convert a Publisher File to PDF
There are three main methods of converting your file from Publisher to PDF:
1.Use Save as PDF in Publisher
By default, Publisher creates .pub files, which you can only open in Publisher.
Fortunately, you can easily resolve this by saving the PUB file as a PDF so others who don’t have Publisher can open it.
If you’re using the 2010 version of the Publisher application, the steps are slightly different.
