Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A batch converter for Publisher files that offers PDFs, editable PowerPoint copies, Word files, and page images.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.

For: People with legacy Publisher files
Worth noticing: A downloadable 1.4 MB sample includes the original .pub alongside PDF, PowerPoint, Word, and page-image outputs.

Field notes

The workflow accepts individual .pub files, folders, or ZIPs, then packages outputs in a ZIP that mirrors the original folder structure. The page lists PDFs, editable PPTX files, Word text, and page images; it also links to a sample containing the source file and outputs. PubRescue says each file is opened and exported in Microsoft Publisher, previews are free, and charges apply only to successful conversions; files are said to be deleted after seven days.
