Field notes
Uploads can be individual .pub files, folders, or ZIPs, with a stated ceiling of 5,000 files and 500 MB per upload. The returned ZIP preserves folders, and the site says DOCX text remains editable in separate text boxes while images and shapes can be moved or replaced. PubRescue reports that, on a seven-file test set, 94% of words landed within 1 mm of Publisher's placement; that comparison is presented by the service itself.
