Can I open a .pub file in iworks?

I have been sent some files created in publisher with a .pub extension. Can I open thses in iWorks09?

I suppose that you may just want to read, not necessarily edit, these .pub files. If you Google "OSX apps for .PUB format" you will get a lot of hits.
I've downloaded a couple of these OSX app readers over the past few months to investigate posts about export from Pages to epub. Some work better than others – you have many choices.

  • Publisher 2013 won't open a .pub file

    Using Publisher 2013 from Office 365 Home Premium, I can't open some .pub file I had no problem opening the previous day. I get the message "Publisher has detected a problem in the file you are trying to open. To protect your computer, Publisher will
    not open the file." Suggestions?

    Type the following into Notepad and save  with the .reg file extension:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Publisher]
    "PromptForBadFiles"=dword:1

    You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles.  To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account.  To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example).  It's a bit clunky, but works. 

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • I can't open my Pages files.

    The system keep asking my to upgrade Pages to the newsiest version but it IS the newest!  What can I do?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • I've upgraded to OS X10.8.2 but I can't open power pc files and applications

    I've upgraded to OS X10.8.2 but I can't open power pc files and applications

    Note that there's no such thing as "PowerPC files." PowerPC applications won't work on OS X 10.7 or higher, but the files created by those apps can still be opened if there is an updated version of that app. For example, if you have MS Office 2004, you cannot open any of those Office apps, and thus cannot open any of your Office documents. However, if you upgrade to Office 2011, or some other substitute (such as Apple's iWork suite or the free OpenOffice or LibreOffice), you will be able to open those documents again just fine.

  • How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?

    How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
    I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
    I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
    How can I do it from my cs6 version?
    THANKS!

    You can't do it from CS6.
    You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
    All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

  • I can't open a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

    Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

    For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
    I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
    * Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
    *[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

  • Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

    why i can't open my raw file?

    You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
    The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

  • I can only open 1 .Ai file at a time from explorer

    Okay.  Googling is getting me nowhere and posting this is a last resort.
    computer is running:
    Windows 7 x64 SP1
    Creative Suite 5.5
    Illustrator 5.1
    The problem is:
    From within Windows Explorer, I can only open 1 Illustrator file at a time.  To get a different file to open, I either have to drag and drop the second file into the tabs under the menubar, or I need to quit Illustrator and re-open it.  Also,  I can not open additional files from Explorer one-at-a-time if one is already open.
    Quirks:
    If I go to File -> Open I can select multiple files from within the Open File dialogue window and they open just fine.  but i can't do it from within windows explorer.  This used to work and now it doesn't and I have no idea why.  Can anyone help me out?
    Seriously? 137 views and no replies?  No one has run into this before?

    This is a long shot but try going to Preferences/Type and uncheck "Show Font Names in English".
    Quit illustrator and restart, does it work now?
    The reason I´m suggesting this is that unless I have this box unchecked, some internal function in illustrator crashes after I´ve opened one document and I have to quit & restart if I wan´t to open another one. A rather silly bug and I stumpled upon the solution by accident after cursing illustrator for a couple of months...

  • I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

    After looking around for this error, it seems to be related to OS, we would recommend you to contact Apple support for this.
