Preserve your Publisher originals
Microsoft 365 Publisher access ends 1 October 2026. Perpetual-version support ends 13 October. Keep PUB originals and make reference PDFs while you have access.

Inspect the actual conversion output
One original synthetic PUB, seven text frames, one exported PDF page. Created using PubHarbor’s production parser and PDF renderer, not a recording of the installed reader.

Review before archiving
Compare every page, font, image and known phrase. Keep compatibility notes. Professional exports require Pro. This simple synthetic example is not a complex-layout fidelity benchmark.
