About Publisher PDF Desk & methodology

How Publisher PDF Desk works, which inputs it supports, what its results mean and where its limits apply.

Publisher PDF Desk

Convert supported Microsoft Publisher files to PDF in a separate local browser engine, review the pages and extract selectable text while retaining the original PUB.

How we build a check

This workbench processes supported inputs locally. We test calculations, file structure and generated artifacts using independent readers or known fixtures where available. The example runs the same processing path as a supplied input; it does not stand in for checking your own result.
