- Worth noticing
- The page says it can handle up to 200 files at once while keeping folders, and warns that complex layouts may need touch-ups.
Field notes
The upload can be a single .pub file or a .zip folder, and the page says it preserves folder structure and filenames. It lists one-time options alongside the free trial, rather than a subscription. Its stated turnaround is usually within 24 hours; users are warned that missing fonts may be substituted and that some publications or effects can require manual touch-up.
