Frequently asked questions

Do I need Microsoft Publisher?

No. Conversion runs on our server with open-source software (LibreOffice).

What do I get?

A ZIP with a PDF of every file and an editable .odg file you can open in free LibreOffice Draw.

Can I get Word (.docx) files?

Not at the moment. Publisher layouts don't map well to Word. Use the .odg files to edit.

Is it safe?

Files are processed in an isolated sandbox without internet access and deleted automatically after 24 hours. We never look at them.

What doesn't convert well?

WordArt, some special effects, very old Publisher 1.0/2.0 files, and fonts we don't have (replaced with similar fonts).

What if it doesn't work?

You see previews before paying. If the result isn't usable, email support@convertpubfiles.com within 14 days for a full refund.
