Frequently Asked Questions
Why do most computers not have Publisher?
Publisher was always sold separately from Office and was never included in standard Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Many people encounter .pub files without ever having Publisher installed.
Is Publisher available on Mac?
No — Publisher was a Windows-only application. Mac users have always needed an alternative way to open .pub files.
Can I convert a Publisher brochure to PDF?
Yes — brochures, flyers, posters and newsletters all convert cleanly to PDF.
Does the page size carry over to the PDF?
Yes — the page size set in Publisher (A4, Letter, custom sizes) is preserved in the PDF output.
Is there a browser extension for this?
No browser extension is needed — the converter works directly in your browser tab.
