Can anyone with Corel Draw open a Publisher file for me?
« on: August 13, 2021, 10:50:27 AM »
I have two files provided by a customer. I read on line that they can be opened by Corel Draw.
Can anyone give a guy hand?


I don’t think I’ve evener asked if anyone could open a file for me. LOL. Never came across a publisher file.


Email me please and thank you.

I'll try. Why CorelDRAW though? Isn't Publisher from Microsoft? Though I do  now see that even Open Office can't do it directly. Let's see if CorelDRAW X6 can. What did Inkman try?

Yes, it is. But the internet man said that it can be opened with Corel Draw.
I’ll send it now.


Inkman must have gotten caught up with some work.

Try this, I seem to remember that there were some free sites that could convert, but that was at least 5 years ago. https://www.publishertopdf.com

I gave it a try for Dan yesterday with CorelDRAWX6 with no luck. With some time on my hands and as well as some curiosity I also looked into the online conversions, and discovered that they are not all created equal. Had the best results with https://www.zamzar.com/converters/document/pub-to-pdf/. 
One of his files initially seemed to work in publishertopdf.com The other didn't, but had a good result with zamzar. When I tried the first one again, this time in zamzar, the results were a little different, and (I can only assume) more accurate.

I did some surfing around and you might try Item #2 on this link to convert the .PUB file to a .PDF file

"Convert PUB to PDF Online"

https://www.investintech.com/resources/blog/archives/9926-viewing-microsoft-publisher-files.html

I've never tried it but it could be worth a shot

I guess never mind as I notice that "publishertopdf.com" was in the bottom part of Andy's reply.  Sorry about that.

Remember results vary. With Dan's files, the Zamzar service was noticeably different and better.

Hmmm.  Odd.  Maybe I used an old email.  No worries. Andy was able to help me get it covered.


Thank you for the offer!!  and Thank you Andy!

For future reference, I've managed to use libre office ( open source software - free )
to open some publisher files sent my way. It has a PDF export feature.
I use it all the time instead of the ms office suite.

Having said that, many files I receive from people are just broken to begin with,
so YMMV.
