How to convert Publisher to PDF file

Microsoft Publisher is a great program for desktop publishing.  Many small business owners use Publisher to create newsletters, brochures, flyers, product user manuals, catalogues, and more.  The problem is, finding the best way to share or transfer these publisher files to employees, commercial printers, and customers who don't use Microsoft Publisher.  The answer, covert the Publisher files to PDF (Portable Document Format) so anyone can view it.  This article will teach you how to convert Publisher file to PDF with the Now PDF Writer.   This is a very simple process that I will outline in the steps below:

Step One - Create your document in Microsoft Publisher

Because the Now PDF Writer does not have a working document window, you must first complete your document in Microsoft Publisher before you convert Publisher to PDF.  Make sure your Publisher document properties are set correctly to what you want them to be in your created PDF file that you intend to distribute.  Set the page size, margins, background, etc... so it will look exactly the way you want your new PDF file to look.

Step Two - Print to Now PDF Writer printer

To convert your Publisher file to PDF, select the 'File' menu and select 'print'.  Then, from your list of installed printers select the NowPDF Writer and click 'OK'

Important Note when you convert Publisher to PDF:  On the print dialogue menu, do NOT select the 'print to file' option.  Selecting this option will bypass the Now PDF Writer and create a .prn file instead of a .pdf file.

Step Three - Name and save your new Publisher to PDF File

After selecting the Now PDF Writer as a printer, software will prompt you name your new PDF file and select a location to save the PDF file.  By default, Microsoft Publisher usually opens to your My Documents folder.  Make sure you know where the PDF file will be saved to and select 'OK' to complete the process of converting Publisher to a PDF file.
