Since October 1, 2026, Microsoft 365 no longer includes Publisher — and nothing else Microsoft makes opens a .pub file. Upload your archive and get every file back as a PDF and an editable copy.
For every Publisher file: a PDF to read, print and share, and an ODG you can keep editing in LibreOffice Draw — free software for Windows, Mac and Linux. Your folders stay exactly as they were.
Plus a rescue report: every file, whether it converted, and a thumbnail of page one, so nothing fails silently.
Honesty first: this is an editable rescue, not a pixel-perfect clone. Layouts, images and fonts come through; the report flags anything that doesn't.
One payment for the whole batch. No subscription.

Yes. As soon as you upload, we rescue page one of one of your files and show it to you, with the exact price. You only pay if you want to go ahead — and the refund guarantee still covers the full rescue.
Yes. No accounts, no mailing list. Your originals are deleted from the server as soon as conversion finishes, and your rescued files are deleted 7 days after that. If you don't go ahead and pay, your upload is deleted automatically within a day.
Most documents come through with layout, images and fonts intact. Complex layouts can have small quirks — the per-file report tells you exactly where to look, so nothing fails silently.
Then you don't pay for it. Genuinely corrupted files turn up in every old archive, and the report lists every one of them.
If fewer than 80% of your valid Publisher files fully rescue, email us with your order number and we'll refund you in full. Your report shows the number, so there's nothing to argue about.
And if the rescue simply isn't useful to you, tell us within 30 days and we'll refund you anyway. We would rather hear about it than have you regret the purchase.
That is on top of your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, which we can't limit and don't try to.
For one or two files, a free converter — or LibreOffice by hand — is a perfectly good answer. For an archive, check three things: whether it takes hundreds of files at once and keeps your folders, whether you get an editable copy as well as a PDF, and what happens to your files afterwards. We do all three, and add a report so you know which files need a second look.
Yes. The PDFs open anywhere. The editable ODG copies open in LibreOffice, which is free for Mac, Windows and Linux.
Not on purpose. Word is a word processor and Publisher files are page layouts, so a Word conversion keeps the text and loses the design. The ODG copy keeps text boxes, images and positions editable.
One file at a time, sure — install LibreOffice and open each .pub by hand (here's how). We're for the moment you're staring at a folder with 300 of them: batch conversion, damaged-file handling, both formats, and a report.
