How do you open a Microsoft Publisher (.pub) file using inDesign?

How do you open a Microsoft Publisher (.pub) file using inDesign?

You don't.
To get some semblance of the original content into Indesign, you could export the Pub file to PDF, then use PDF2ID, (probably a free trial available out there), to convert the PDF.

    PDF files cannot be natively opened in InDesign. They can only be placed as graphics.

  • HT200158 How do you to access Microsoft windows 7 files systems from OSX mountain lion

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4697 describes how to enable access to Microsoft windows file systems from an OSX lion system.
    Mountain lion does not have this entry.
    Now that I have a mac with Mountain LIon installed,
    how do acces the files on a Microsoft windows 7 system that I have previously accessed?

    Well as I pointed out in my post, "Sadly, my Text Edit documents are still all there, every single time I opened them and made a small change, there is another copy stretching all the way back to the day I installed Mountain Lion." so if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will concede that it is a good idea. Short of that, no I have been capable of making my own backups since I was 16 years old (16 years ago) I don't need my computer to endlessly do it for me in a way I am completely unable to shut off. That's what I have external hard drives, flash drives, a DVD burner, Drop Box, E-mail (as in emailing copies to myself) and icloud for. If I am doing something and I don't have access to a single one of those options, I don't know why I brought my computer with me in the first place. And I don't see how you can say it's an illusory gain in disk space, hundreds of copies of text documents, garageband files, Final Cut files, Motion Files and basically any program that makes files onto my comptuer that I can myself make incremental changes to, those all need to be stored somehow. Again, if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will agree with you that that is a good thing because IF it only saved for a week, it wouldn't be an issue. Sadly, no matter how many links you post, I still have text edit backups stretching from today back to July 26. They're not going away and I have no reason to beleive any other file I edit is going to go away either since they haven't been. They're all there eating up HD space and this imaginary "week" limit is simply not coming into effect. I hate it and there needs to be a simple way to simply shut it off. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on external drives just for my main hard drive to be filled up with hundreds un useless, undeletable backups of stuff I already have backed up.

  • How can I open a microsoft publisher file on my ipad

    I have a bunch of publisher files I need to port over and can't find a program to open them with. I have tried keynote, pages, documents to go and quickoffice. Please tell me there is something out there instead of having to redo them all.

    Sorry, Publisher uses a proprietary format that only Publisher itself could open. I'm not aware of any application for an iPad that can open those files. There are some third-party services that purport to be able to convert Publisher files to .doc, but I don't know if those services work well. Otherwise you'll have to copy out the objects and text in the Publisher file and paste them into a Word document which you could then open on the iPad in Pages, Documents To Go, or another app that can edit Word documents.
    There are also products and services that say they can convert Publisher files to PDF, if you just need to be able to view them on the iPad.
    Regards.

  • Can you open any Microsoft publisher file on a Mac

    Can I open it?

    As Office for Mac doesn't include Access, I'm not at all sure you can.
    You could try Open Office, NeoOffice or Libre Office (all free, open source) and see if their database applications can do it.

  • How can you open a PSDX Photoshop Touch file in PS cs6?

    I've looked at some video and they talk about downloading a plugin for CS5x and that one isn't needed for PS CS6 w/ the ACC. I can see the psdx file but PS will not open it saying it is the wrong file type. Do I first need to export the file from PSTouch as a JPG? Can someone direct me to a specific Help Resource URL please. Thanks.

    Sometimes Adobe Help and Adobe TV is not up to date or at least not very clear to me. So here is the simple answer after playing and experimenting with PST. I am unable to save or export any image OUT of PST except as a PSDX file and PS CS6 will not open a PSDX file without a plugin. Following the instructions on AdobeTV and/or the help files in PST tells you to download a plugin AFTER signing in to the Cloud, but there is no download link as per the example. SO..... to get a PSDX file to open in PS CS6 do the following.
    1) Open the Adobe Application Manager
    2) Select the Touch Apps Plugins
    3) Allow it to download and install
    4) When complete open PS FROM the Windows START menu. You will think something is wrong because it will be minutes before it opens. Everything is ok it just takes a while for the plugin to register with PS CS6 the first time.
    5) You can now open PSDX files in PS CS6.
    As for the usefulness of PST..eh I guess it's ok. Like most things related to Adobe Cloud Apps and Services it needs help. The one advantage I can see is that I do not need a seperate app to open a NEF file other than that..eh, I've seen better apps. With that said let's not forget that Adobe IS trying and will get better with time and money. Look at it this way, when PST first came out it only supported iPad then it was worked on to support Android 8.9" tablets now it works on 7" Androids. Eventually, it will be a lite version of PS where you can work on the file both in PS and on the go without having to save your layers as individual files and some other features and functions it currently lacks.
    Stay with it Adobe eventually you'll have a superior product worth the $10 if not more. You can do it guys, I have confidence in you. You've come a long way since May, tech wise, it's just your marketing people that drive hype too much so that us loyal users have too high of an expectation.

  • PDF attachments are trying to open in Microsoft Publisher

    Why are my PDF attachments trying to open in Microsoft Publisher.  I click on the attachement, Publisher opens up with a File Conversion windown opening as well.  It will not open.  I have to save the file, then open Adobe Acrobat, then open the file.  It just started doing this a few weeks ago.  Anyone know what the problem is??

    I'm not sure how the issue would have started, but it sounds like you need to change your file associations so that your computer knows what program to use to open a file with a .pdf extension. Assuming you have a Windows system, below are the directions for fixing this problem (copied from the Microsoft support website):
    To change which program starts when you double-click a file, follow these steps:
    Open Windows Explorer by right-clicking the Start button, and then click Explore.
    Click a folder that contains a file of the type that you want Windows to open in a program that you select.
    Right-click the file and, depending on the programs installed on your computer, complete one of the following steps:
    Click Open With to choose the program that you want.
    Point to Open With, and then click Choose Program to choose the program that you want.
    The Open With dialog box is displayed. Use one of the following methods to select the program that you want to use for this file type:
    In the Programs list, click the program that you want to use.
    Click Browse, locate and then click the program that you want to use, and then click Open.
    Click Look for the appropriate program on the Web to browse the Internet for the program that you want to use.
    Click to select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box if it is not selected.
    Click OK.
    Let me know if you need more help.

  • How do you open the site definition in Sharepoint Designer?

    Hi,
    I am looking to open this to try to edit it. Where is it and how do you open it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to edit the site definition in SharePoint Designer.
    A site definition is a collection of files stored on the server used for all new sites and templates created in SharePoint.
    They provide preconfigured lists, Web Parts, navigation bars, features, and so on for each site.
    The role of the site definition becomes especially important the next time you perform server-wide maintenance, for example upgrading the server, applying a solution upgrade, or a branding exercise.
    Not only is the site definition updated, but all the pages associated with it are updated, which keeps them consistent and easily manageable.
    Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010 is a Web and application design program used to design, build, and customize Web sites running on SharePoint Foundation 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. With SharePoint Designer 2010, you can create data-rich
    Web pages, build powerful workflow-enabled solutions, and design the look and feel of your site.
    The following articles about the SharePoint Designer and use the Designer to edit the master page, I think they are the good beginning for you.

  • How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher document to PDF format. I have free version of Acrobat.

    How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher document to PDF format. I have free version of Acrobat.

    Hi raythree,
    I'm sorry that your PDF conversion is working. Can you please tell me if you're getting a specific error message? Knowing that can help pinpoint the cause of the conversion failure. However, here are a couple of things that you could try:
    Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser).
    If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
    Try another web browser.  A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
    Also, note that there is a 100MB file size limit, so if your publisher file is larger than that, it won't upload to ExportPDF.
    I hope this helps. But let us know if you need further assistance.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer?

    How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer? I can't find a button on or below the door.  Am I missing something?  Additionally, will the K430 boot from a DVD/CD if it finds one in the DVD tray instead of the hard disk?  Please help. Thanks. 
    Solved!

    hi penguin247,
    Regarding your questions:
    1. Can you try to press the eject symbol on the DVD bay and observe if the DVD tray comes out.
    Link to picture
    2. By default, the HDD is set as the first boot device and the ODD second on the K430. You will need to change the boot order or continuously tap F12 during POST to boot from the ODD (assuming you have a bootable media inserted).

  • How do you open a PDF using Adobe Reader on your IPad in IBook?

    How do you open a PDF File using Adobe Reader on your IPad When in IBook?

    You can't. When you're in most of the PDF readers, the Share button gives you the option of Open In another app. But iBooks does not.
    You need to add your PDFs through the iTunes method which Alec wrote about here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1040579?tstart=0
    Or you can use another way of transferring your PDF to the iPad, like Dropbox. You install the Dropbox app on your iPad and copy your PDF from Dropbox (cloud application). It opens in Dropbox app and you use the Share icon to move it into Reader.
