How to Open a PUB File Without Microsoft Publisher

Many users look for a way to open a PUB file without Publisher. The honest answer is that reliable conversion still generally requires Microsoft Publisher today.

That is exactly why preservation matters now. If you can still access Microsoft Publisher on a working machine, converting important .PUB files to PDF gives you a safer long-term format.

PMT does not claim to remove the Publisher dependency today.
