Microsoft Publisher to Photoshop?

We are new to Photoshop and need to transfer our materials. Is it possible to copy a microsoft publisher document into a new photoshop document?

The only way I can think of is to do this is to save the Published document as a PDF and import into Photoshop.
Adobe has a PDF wriiter, but there are a ffew freebies out there that work quite well.
Hope this helps

A Microsoft Publisher converter

hi need a converter for publisher from PC to my mac a freind of mine cant changer her format for it to be reabable on non microsoft publisher users. HELPPP!

Do you need to just view and or print the file on your mac? If so just tell your friend to print the publisher document to a file. There should be a check box in the print dialogue to do this. It will prompt you for a file name so just type c:\yourfilename.ps
Transfer this over to your mac then you can 'probably' just double click it to open in preview as it should convert it to a pdf. if that doesnt work try opening preview then dropping the .ps file onto its icon.
This should work as i deal with postscripts all the time often have to convert nasty publisher files into something i can print from indesign on a mac. I normally use acrobat distiller to convert the postscript file but preview should do it.
It is possible to then edit the PDF file you have created but you will need the full acrobat professional, illustrator and or photoshop depending on what you want to edit.

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.

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.

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.

I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Any ideas?

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

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,
Michelle

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.

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.

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.

Microsoft Publisher app

I'm looking in to purchasing an iPad for my wife. She frequently uses Microsoft Publisher. Is there a similar app within the Apple community?
Thank you.

Nothing that will read Publisher files, if that's what she would need. And I personally would not want to try to do page layout of anything other than a very simple document on a touchscreen of the size of an iPad. But you could look into Pages for iOS:
http://www.apple.com/apps/iwork/pages/
Perhaps that might fit the bill. Otherwise, if you can give us more of an idea as to what she needs, someone may able to offer further suggestions.
Regards.

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 file

I have a microsoft publisher file that I would like to share with a pc. Is that possible? I do have microsoft office on my computer. I would like to view the file and make changes and give it back to the pc.

It's not possible with Mac OS X. There is no version of Publisher that is compatible with OS X.
Since you have an Intel based Mac, your only option would be to use Boot Camp or Parallels and run Windows on your Mac with Publisher.
