Frequently Asked Questions
What industries commonly use Publisher files?
Healthcare (patient leaflets, staff notices), education (school newsletters, worksheets), local government (community notices, reports) and small businesses (menus, flyers, certificates).
Can I convert a Publisher certificate to PDF?
Yes — certificates convert very cleanly, including decorative borders, custom fonts and images.
What about Publisher newsletters?
Multi-column newsletter layouts convert well. Check column alignment in the output and adjust margins if needed.

CalcHive doesn't offer a direct API, but CloudConvert (which powers the conversion) has a full API for automated bulk processing.
