Converting MS Publisher File ?

304 views3 repliesLast post: 2/28/2008
Can anyone give an easy way to converter a MS Publisher file to a PDF or other format that I can place easily into Pagemaker 7.0?

I downloaded the Adobe converter but it is not working - likely a later version of Publisher was used.

Thanks in advance!

Been there, done that. The easiest method would be to download and install CutePDF. It acts as a PDF printer.

So all you have to do is "print to" CutePDF and you have a PDF that you can import into your fave Adobe app!!

CutePDF, by the way, is free. :)

HTH!! :)

Not in any editable format.

As someone else said, you can print the Publisher document to a PDF and then Place that into PageMaker, or save the PDF pages as TIFF images to Place into PageMaker ... either way it has to be done one page at a time and the pages from Publisher won't be able to be edited.

You're probably better off re-doing the layout in PageMaker itself.
