PubKeep keeps Microsoft Publisher files in circulation
A focused preservation tool that converts .pub files to exact PDFs and presents a desktop app for opening and editing them again.
Field notes
PubKeep separates archive preservation from continued editing: its converter is presented as handling whole folders and subfolders, while the desktop app is intended to reopen Publisher files and save them as .pubk archives containing JSON and images. The page specifically names text boxes, master pages, and fold-over booklets as editing targets. It also describes random job IDs and scheduled upload removal after download, though those operational claims are not independently testable from the extract.
