Publisher to PDF & Word Converter

Instantly convert your .pub files into secure PDFs or Word documents you can edit—designed for busy UK schools and individual staff.

Our Publisher Converter app lets you batch-convert entire folders of .pub documents in one go. No hidden costs, no subscriptions—just one simple one-time licence, available for individual users and whole schools. Schools often have anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of Publisher files, making manual conversion unfeasible.

  • PDF Output: Create print-ready, PDF/A-compliant archives.
  • Word Export: Convert layouts into .docx files you can edit and adapt. Because many Publisher documents are built from multiple text boxes and layered objects, simpler text-based layouts usually convert cleanly, while more complex designs may come through as a mix of text boxes or images and need a little manual tidying.
Bulk conversion on network drive

Automate Bulk Conversion

Simply select a top-level folder—whether it’s on your PC or a shared network drive—and the app will automatically scan and convert every .pub file it finds, including those inside all subfolders.

Perfect for schools with large, organised resource banks. Whether you have a dozen files or thousands spread across departments, our app processes them all with zero manual sorting required.

Converts at approximately 500 files per hour, hands-free.
