How Do I View Microsoft Publisher Files On A Mac

With this site you upload a Microsoft publisher file and the site automatically converts it and then you download it via your Safari web browser as a PDF file.

Convert PUB file View other document file formats: Technical Details: Microsoft Publisher files may contain various elements including images, graphics, formatted text and objects. The file extension has undergone a number of revisions, from version 3.0 for Windows 95 up to the current version 14 used by Microsoft Publisher 2010.

1. Go to online2pdf.com

2. Click on the browse button and upload your publisher file.

3. The file will automatically download as a safari download.

The View tab enables you to switch between Normal or Master Page, and Single Page or Two-Page Spread views. This tab also gives you control over showing boundaries, guides, rulers, and other layout tools, zooming the size of your view of the publication, and managing Publisher windows you have open.

4. Click on the download and it will open in preview and you can print it.

This has Google ads along the right hand sidebar so I assume it is funded by Google advertising.

Site two: http://www.publishertopdf.com

This site is similar.

1. Go to publishertopdf.com

2. Drag your file on this icon to upload it.

3. When the orange download box appears, click on it. This can take a few minutes for large files.

This second site doesn’t have any advertising.

I have tested both these sites and they both worked for the file I was converting which was a four-page document including text and images. I couldn’t see that one site worked any better than the other.

Thanks to Gordon’s comment below, here’s another site that looks great and handles bigger files:

Thanks so much! I don’t understand why Publisher isn’t Mac-compatible when most Office products are.

Oh, my goodness! I am so grateful for this! I have so many Publisher files that I haven’t been able to see since I bought my Mac in 2017; most of them being poems I’ve written. This will make it so easy to see them once again. Thank you, thank you!!!

Lauren,

The office suite is molded to the Mac by the Mac Business Unit at MS. They do so because those tools have little competition in the marketplace. When it comes to design functions, most of those on the mac are far surpassed by the Adobe product line – InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. So MS doesn’t bother porting Publisher to the mac because it can’t compete. Simple cost-benefit analysis.

Thank you so much! Online2pdf worked like a charm.

In looking at the two sites offered here, both seem to have file size limitations. One actually states it at 100MB while the other just fails to work (I was parsing a 142MB file to PDF from PUB).

A better working site, for me, has turned out to be https://www.zamzar.com/
It actually appears to be a better site all the way around as it easily parsed my larger files and offers several conversion file types.

Question – Our Creative department works on Mac’s but one of our clients needs files in Publisher (they work on PC’s) Is there any Mac software that will let you save as a Publisher file?

ReplyWaynesays:October 16, 2019 at 9:19 pm

Not that I know of.

Thank you – this is very helpful – the second listed site worked for me

Microsoft publisher has been around for a long time but it has never been able to run on Apple computers. If you’re like me you probably have friends who have Microsoft publisher files they occasionally email you. Sadly there is no way to open a Microsoft publisher file on a Mac, until now…

Here are two websites that can convert Microsoft publisher files to PDF.

You can then open, read and print the pdf file on your Mac. You can even edit them.

I have tested both of these conversion sites and they both work pretty well. They are both free.

Site one is easier, to use, just read the instructions below, but I’ve included two sites just in case one of them goes down or doesn’t work for you.
