Microsoft Publisher docs. to iMac??

Hello everyone..I am an elementary school teacher that needs help. I have tons of documents I created last year when I had a Dell Laptop in Microsoft Publisher. Today, we had to turn in our old laptops and we got these new apple laptops. It is the first time I ever use an Apple computer so I am not very familiar with them. I really need to know if I will be able to transer my docs saved on my external hard drive to this new apple. I would hate to lose all my docs. Thank you so much for your help with this issue.

Can one run Microsoft publisher on a imac without using a virtual software?

Can one run Microsoft publisher on a imac without using a virtual software?

You would have to use Bootcamp to install a full copy of Windows to run Publisher, or virtual software. There's no other way. Microssoft's native code is not compatible with Apple's OSX code.
Hope this helps

How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher doc to PDF when the file size is LARGE?

I have a Microsoft Publisher document that I need converted to PDF. Typically I have no issues converting from Publisher to PDF (and usually can just do it through the "save as" feature in Publisher.) However, this particular file is laden with graphics and therefore very large. I was able to convert it once, but it made some of the graphics as blank boxes. When I try again to convert, it gives me an error message.
Is there a way to conver a LARGE Publisher file to PDF without losing any of the images contained within the document? Please help!

Try emptying the Temp folder. Are you using PDF Maker (not sure that is available for Publisher) or the MS plugin? If PDF Maker, try turning off the tags and reducing the amount of bookmarks needed to a minimum. As an alternative, simply print to the Adobe PDF printer -- will typically give a smaller file and not run into these creation problems for large document, but you will not get bookmarks or such in the conversion process.

Opening Microsoft Publisher doc on a Mac?

Can anyone suggest a way to view or open a Microsoft Publisher document on a Mac G4. What I keep reading is that short of running WIndows on the mac, (or perhaps an X11 app.) there is no way. Is this still the case?

*"Is this still the case?"*
yes. there is no way to open Publisher files on a Mac.

What need to do to open a microsoft publisher doc on my iMac??

Have some microsoft pubs that I need to work on. What do I have to do to work on them??

The only way to work on them is to install Windoze and MS Publisher on your Mac - via Boot Camp or a VM.
For pure viewing there are some on-line resources converting it to a PDF, that's as far as it goes.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro won't convert Publisher docs to PDF

Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro won't convert Publisher docs to PDF. It converts other Microsoft docs. Any suggestions?

How are you trying to convert?
Are you using the File-Print function, and selecting the Acrobat printer?

What do I need to convert a Microsoft Publisher file to PDF?

I have Microsoft XL Professional and I am doing newsletters for an organization I belong to. I am doing them in Microsoft Publisher, but want to email them to the members using PDF. What Arcrobat product do I need and how do I do it?

Hi Barb,
Acrobat.com, a free online collection of services, does not support the conversion of Microsoft Publisher files to PDF. Here is the list of supported file types:
text (TXT, PS, RTF), Microsoft Office (DOC, XLS, PPT, PRJ), Open Office (ODT, ODP, ODS, ODG, ODF), Star Office (SWX, SXI, SXC, SXD, STW), Word Perfect (WPD), and image files (BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG)
The full version of Adobe Acrobat, the most current being Acrobat 9, supports a much longer list of file types. For more information, see: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/
I'm guessing that you're using some version of the desktop product at Church?
Best,

Microsoft publisher problems

Hi
At school I made a project on microsoft publisher and i brought it home to print it but i have an old verson of microsoft office on my mac so it won't open.
So i tried to get a trial of it for my mac but when i try to open it it says can not run on DOS mode? i'm no computer geek so I don't know what to do. Any help would be great Thanks!

MS Publisher is a Microsoft Windows product, unless you are running MS Windows on your iMac and have installed MS Publisher the app won't run. You can install MS Windows on your iMac but will need a license of it and can either use Boot Camp to install it which makes your iMac run both MS Windows and OS X but only one at a time. The other solution is buying a virtualization such as Parallels or Fusion and run both Windows and OS X simultaneously.
Because you didn't complete your profile we have no idea what iMac you have or the version of OS X it's running so it's a little difficult to provide any more information.

Microsoft Publisher files

Can you import Microsoft Publisher Files into Pages to edit?

Welcome to the world of Macs -- as a convert about 5 years ago myself, you are coming across some of the things that make Macs completely different from PC's -- and the inability to communicate well between PC and Mac users is one of the main differences.
FIrst -- let me recommend a book to you that was invaluable to me in my own switch many years ago -- it's called The Missing Manual: Switching to the Mac....it's constantly being updated, so I am not sure what version it is in right now -- but it will get you really familiar with the differences between the two systems really fast, and has some great information written in PC terms for new Mac users...
Second -- unlike one of the previous posters, I have found nothing as good for day to day desktop publishing as MS Publisher -- in my opinion, it is the one single application the MS has that does exactly what casual DP users need. The most recent update for MS Office for Mac does include Publisher as part of it's Word program -- it incorporates most of the features of publisher in the Desktop Publishing view of Word -- it does not work with PUB files, everything is in DOC format, so it is clumsy and doesn't do everything that Publisher does, but it is the closest thing on a mac to the familiar publisher program you know. You might want to download the 30-day MS Office for Mac trial version, and see what you think. Personally, I didn't use it much, and found that Pages just looks and works better.
Next -- Pages doesn't have all the templates you might personally need out of the box. Because Apple software is generally open source code (not really, but lets use that terminology for simplicity's sake) a lot of third party software developers create things for the software -- Google "iWork templates" or "Pages templates" or "Numbers templates" or "Keynote templates" and you will find all sorts of companies that provide templates that you might prefer for your documents.
Then -- you need to be aware that Apple designs all of their programs to work around their own applications and they are more splintered than Windows software -- WHere MS designs programs like Outlook that seamlessly interact with Word, that isn't the case with a Mac....also, the software is really geared toward sharing with other Mac users, and doesn't always play well with Windows users...FOr example, you an use iCal to publish your calendars and let others access them and it works awesome in theory -- that theory being that the entire world runs like Cupertino, and that only Macs are used by all of your friends and family. We all know that isn't true.
The easiest way for you to do some of that on a mac is to use the Stationary in your eMail to send e-mails that show up, rather than go as attachments -- but again, you will most likely have to find google-able templates for Mail Stationary, since a lot of the things you want to do aren't going to be there out of the box (again, Apple does this on purpose -- why would they accommodate making it easier for Windows users, when those same Windows users can envy what a mac can do, and possibly ultimately switch themselves)...It's been like this for a decade, and I can't see it changing anytime soon.
If you absolutely must have 100% compatibility with Word users, your going to find MS Office for Mac to be a better option -- if that is NOT 100% compatible with Windows users, but it's the closest you are going to get, so a trial might be in your best interest...
As to standalone Desktop Publishing programs for the Mac -- you have the high-end Adobe InDesign, which many serious DP people use -- it's elegant, and creates beautiful things, but it is too expensive, and it has a very steep learning curve -- it does nothing out of the box, and doesn't even have built-in templates.
At the middle of the pack is Pages; and the document layout version of Word in MS Office for Mac 08
At the affordable standalone end is The PrintShop 2 -- it is a huge program that will handle just about any publishing project you throw at it -- it is also very easy to use. It's the closest standalone program to MS Publisher that exists for Mac. (There are others that do this, but they are in no way as comprehensive and easy to use as PS)...but here is the caveat -- it uses its own proprietary file and extension system, so you can't exchange published items with Windows users (unless you convert to a PDF, and then you might as well have just used Pages or Office). It does have some very basic internet publishing capabilities, but it is almost 98 percent geared toward printed materials - cards, labels, brochures, newsletters, printed calendars, greeting cards, etc.
As to making sure your newsletter is embedded opened rather than as a file, I will let others share their experiences -- I haven't found anything that works 100% of the time -- you could convert it to HTML code and embed that, but I wouldn't even know where to start with that.
(By the way, sticking with Pages, it doesn't have a built-in calendar -- but search this same forum and you will find a pretty nifty template for monthly calendars)

HT204394 how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud

how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

Not really.
You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

When printing to Adobe PDF from Microsoft Publisher, the text on page 2 is not 100% black

Hi there
I'm using Microsoft Publisher 2013 to print to an Adobe PDF file (I have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.)
I sent the PDF to my printing house but they can't print it because the text on page 2 is not 100% black. In Publisher, the text colour on both pages is CMYK 0/0/0/100.
I created a test file in which I copied the text from page 1 onto page 2 so both pages are identical. However, the PDF created from that file, when I click Print Production, Output Preview and de-select Process Black, all the text on page 1 disappears (as expected) but none of the text on page 2 disappears! It seems that Publisher and/or Acrobat is printing the text on page 1 correctly but not page 2. Does anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong?
Here's a link to the two files: Dropbox - ShareAdobeComm
Would much appreciate some help if anybody can please point me in the right direction. Thank you.
(I'm seriously evaluating upgrading from my current 3rd party PDF writer to Adobe.)

Do not use the PDF Maker, but print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if that meets you need. If you need some of the tools of PDF Maker, then turn on only those you need, not them all. Check to be sure that the graphics are indeed being downsampled and possibly go back and reduce the graphics you have in the WORD file so that you are at least not using millions of colors, 256 max. Also consider using straight B&W if color is not needed, or at least gray-scale.

Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc. to PDF in Words (there is no response)

Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc to PDF in Words (Does not respond) or Create PDF from a Word doc. in Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.1.1 with all updates installed. I receive apop-up saying "Missing PDF Maker Files: Dou you want to run the installer in Repair Mode" I have done this several times. I have un-installrd and re installed the program twice. Still does not work. I'm running Windows 7 Home version and Microsoft Office XP 2002. This is a brabd new Acrobat program right out of the box. Suggestions Please.

In WORD 2002, I believe you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. I think that WORD 2003 is the first compatible with AA X. Check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html.

Problem with creating pdf from Microsoft Publisher 2013

We are having problems in creating pdfs from Microsoft Publisher2010- When the function 'Adobe PDF' is selected and 'Print' is clicked on nothing happens. The progress bar just sits there for several minutes without creating a pdf. We have to click on cancel and when this is done this crashes Microsft Publisher.
I have repaired this using the repair facility in Acrobat 9. I have also uninstalled Acrobat 9 and reinstalled this.
I have also uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and reinstalled Adobe Reader 9.
Before uninstalling Acrobat I also ran the updates but this didnt help either.
This is on a Windows 7 PC (64-bit)
Adobe Acroabt 9 Pro Extended
Microsoft Publisher 2010.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

MS Publisher 2010 is not supported by the Acrobat 9 Family; and the PDFMaker extension for Publisher has been removed completely from the Acrobat XI Family, so upgrading won't help either. Sorry!

Add Microsoft Publisher to Office Professional Plus 2013

Hi,
I'm trying to do a command-line installation to add Microsoft Publisher 2013 to an existing Office Professional Plus 2013. It was assumed that our staff would not need it, but as we have already received one request to get it installed, and the school year
has not yet started, we assume that others will also need it, measuring possibly in the hundreds or thousands. As a result, I'm looking for a batch scripting option.
Via other postings, I found it was possible to script the uninstall of the Office Upload Center via:
msiexec /i{90150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} REMOVE=WxpFiles
I'm looking to find something similar to add Microsoft Publisher. I know that the Office Customization Tool exists, but quite honestly, I don't have time to learn how to use it. I'd prefer not to send my network technicians out to the computers, especially
when there should be better options, but if it comes down to only the GUI, then only the GUI it is.

I'm still not entirely clear as to how this would work. If, for example, I use an MSP to add Publisher, then the user also then needs Outlook, would the Outlook MSP also need to have Publisher set to "Run all from my computer", or could that one just add
Outlook? I havent had a chance to run the OCT yet, my firewall consumed my day today.
By the way, it is exactly this type of question why I was looking for the way to add it via an msiexec flag. If I can remove a part of the Office installation that way, it seems to on me that I should be able to add one as well, even if it is not "the best
way" or "the right way".
You will need to try it out and see how it plays in your environment.
In my environment, we initially customised Office such that InfoPath was set to "Not Available". Subsequently, a need for InfoPath was identified, so I grabbed the original MSPfile which I deployed Office with (sans InfoPath), modified that to set InfoPath=RunFromMyComputer,
set that to [F]orce, then pushed msiexec /p enableInfoPath.msp, to those computers which needed InfoPath.
Note that I re-used the previous/existing customisation file (the file which already had all features other than InfoPath set to enabled), and toggled the feature state of InfoPath.

I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Anyone else had problems like this and how do I solve it? Thanks. Ray

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
