Publisher files to PDF

I have tried to convert a publisher file to PDF for the past 24 hours and continue to get an error message which says "Conversion failure". I have converted publisher documents previously (it's my church newsletter). It will not convert this time for some reason. Suggestions??

I have been trying to do the same thing. Have you gotten yours to work? If so what di you end up doing? I'd like to know what is going on.

I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

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?

Distortion of excel charts when converting microsoft publisher file to pdf

I am using the print "Adobe PDF" function in publisher to convert a publisher file to pdf. Some exel pie charts that were pasted into the publisher file become distorted at the edges in the pdf file. I have tried playing with various settings and using the "print quality" settings but nothing has helped. See the attached files for an example of the excel chart, publisher file, and results I am getting when converting to pdf.
Thanks all.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. What I'm trying to say is that the graphic looks just fine in publisher. But when it is converted to a pdf, the graphic has distorted edges, if you look at the publisher and pdf files I attached I think you might see what I'm talking about.
Please let me know if it's still not clear.

Publisher file to PDF

I'm trying to convert a very large Publisher file to PDF. Is there a file size limit? I've done this before but having difficulty with this one. I'm wondering if it's due to the file size.

Conversion of Publisher file to PDF

I have a MS publisher file, 98mb in size which I cannot convert to PDF. Teh error message said I could try to install a windows printer. I did install the printer according to instructions and tried converting the file again wiht the same failure message. Do I need to do something to access the printer for the conversion or is this automatic?

Thank you. If it does come back where will I find it?

Having installed the printer, you must use it. You can't just install the printer then do the same thing you did before.
Open the file in Publisher, print to the special printer driver. It takes what is "printed" and sends it off for conversion. I'm still not hopeful it will come in under the size limits though.

Www does not display when converting a Publisher file to pdf

Does anyone know what settings need to be changed in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 in order for it to display the www in web addresses? I am having trouble converting a file from Publisher that includes 2 website addresses and the pdf has the correct links, but the display in my pdf leaves off the www. (For example, www.amazon.com displays as ".amazon.com") Please help if you can!
Sheila

You have to either use PDF Maker (I think Publisher can do that) or enter the links in Acrobat itself.

Problems with some photos when converting Publisher files to PDF using Acrobat 9

I tried to make a pdf of a publisher document that has a number of photographs. Two of the photographs appear grey with streaks -looks like some of the colours are not converting properly. The same document works fine with Acrobat 8 but not with version 9. Anybody have this experience?

Graffit's suggestion did not work for me.
I work for the Ontario government, and we are still using Office 2003. I am not sure what version of 9 we are using as we get bulk licences to use the program. I only got the program in August 2010. I used the default settings in the program.
I try to open the publisher document in Adobe. I have also tried opening the publisher document, then converting it to the PDF. Both have two of the photos that don't convert properly. The other photos are fine.
The two photos in question were given to us by the Communications department. I don't have the originals. The photos were copied from other document. I don't know what the format of the orginal photos were. The person in Communications has not responded to my request yet.

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.

Creating PDF from Publisher files - failure

my first attempt at converting a publisher file to PDF format failed - no reason given. Too much security on my computer? How can I resolve this probem?

Hi dvane932,
Are you using the Adobe PDF Pack to convert the file to PDF? How large is the file? There is a 100 MB file-size limit for uploading files to the online service. That said, please try the following:
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Make sure that you're using a supported web browser: System requirements | Acrobat.com
Make sure there are no firewall/proxy settings that are limiting your access to the Internet.
Try converting a different file to PDF (helps narrow down the problem).
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

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.

Converting graph in publisher 2007 to PDF

Help!!!!!!!!! I always got problem in converting graph (in a
publisher file) to PDF :(
After printing the publisher file to PDF then I open my newly
created PDF file the graph is missing. It's replaced with a black
retangle box.
Remark:
The graph in the publisher file is created in Microsfot Excel
2007 then the graph is copy and paste into the publisher
file.

I suspect it is a shrinking issue in Publisher (check the print properties). A lot of packages reduce the margin so it will print all of the information on printers, many printers add margin space. At least worth a check.

MS publisher 2010 to PDF using Adobe Acrobat X Pro produces outlines on some of my images that are not there on the publisher file!

I am helping a client publish a book through Createspace. We are both using Windows 8 OS. She created her document in MS Publisher 2010. I made the necessary edits to her book, (111 pages) and saved it as a pdf for commercial printing. The resulting pdf puts lines on some of the images. (All the images are jpg format, but it only happens to some.) I have tried creating the pdf in several different ways including print to PDF, Save as PDF, and Save and Send Wizard for commercial printing. I have also tried deleting and reinserting the images. I don't know what else to try. Does anyone have any ideas.
The image below shows what I mean. On the left is the Publisher File, on the right is the PDF.

I agree with your statement; even for a particular document, if I choose to "Print on both sides" and then print again immediately after, "Print on both sides" will be deselected.
However, I'm not sure what you're implying by you're statement. I'm asking precisely why this setting isn't sticky. Acrobat uses a non-standard printer dialog; in the usual dialog I can easily set a defualt duplex setting. I almost always want to print duplex. Why can't I do this by default in Acrobat?

Can't save Publisher file correctly as PDF

I have always been able to save Publsiher files as PDF files w/o any problem. Just recently, my Publsiher documents, when saved as a PDF file, have been saving only half of each page on a two page spread. The right side of the left page and the left side of the right page are shown in the PDF document and I cannot figure out how to solve this problem. PLEASE help. I need to send the file to other members of my group and they cannot view the file correctly.
Thank you!

Not sure why you ask in the Adobe Reader forum; I would think the problem is on the MS Publisher side?
