File conversion

I need to convert files from MS Office Publisher to Adobe .pdf.

How do I go about this?

Wouldn't you need Adobe's software or maybe one of these( 1 , 2 , 3 ) will work for free.

Haven't tried em, just first few things I saw looking up pdf at tucows.com...

I have the full suite of Adobe software. Thanks for the links but those will only allow you to print in pdf format.

Anyone else?

Now I would like to know the answer to this myself

Shouldn't you be able to export from publisher in a format that adobe can import, and then distill it?

I can find no export links in publisher whatsoever.

My search for a distiller has been zilch so far. Ughhhhh!

Not knowing publisher, isn't there a save as function?

If you have a full adobe suite, you should have Acrobat, which is the program that has the distiller to write/create pdf's. I know, cause my wife does it all the time. We just have Acrobat. I don't know all of the steps, but she does her desktop publishing layout in QuarkExpress, save's as something, and luanches her acrobat to bring it in and distill it to a pdf.

Can only save as .pub, .txt, .ps

I tried to add .pdf from sh@#$ and grins but with no luck.

I have tried importing the files in Adobe Illustrator, Writer, Photoshop, Image Reader, Photoshop Album and Reader with no luck.

OK - I talked to the 'boss' (wife who does this for a living) I sent you down the wrong path with export/import, file save as. The 'boss' says,,
>you are in publisher with your doc open
>select print
>select printer from the printer drop down and select distiller
>then select ok - print
>if it works - your pdf file will be in the pdf output folder, by default, that would be in a directory where your adobe suite is installed.

hope this helps,,,,,,,,

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much. I spent 2 weeks writing 3 instruction manuals for work. My machine at work is not worth even turning on so I did all the work at home. I go to print out the manuals at work only to find out we only have Adobe software! I figured what the heck, I'll go to kinkos. What a joke. They had no way of printing it either.

I was going to go ahead and print it at home but we are talking 3 very extensive manuals with high detail color pictures, renderings and schematics. Would have cost me a FORTUNE!

Tell your wife (boss) that she is a wonderful lady and deserves a nice boquet of flowers.
