Microsoft publisher has been around for a long time but it has never been able to run on Apple computers. If you’re like me you probably have friends who have Microsoft publisher files they occasionally email you. Sadly there is no way to open a Microsoft publisher file on a Mac, until now…

As others have mentioned there is no Mac application that can work with Publisher files. (EDIT: As Tom pointed out LibreOffice 4.0 and above, released in February 2013, can now open and work with Publisher files) What I've recommended for people at our office who have made the switch to Mac is to either export to a different format.
Microsoft has never released Publisher on Mac but here we’ve looked at the best alternatives to Publisher for Mac to do desktop publishing on macOS. MS Publisher is different from Microsoft Word because it focuses more on Desktop Publishing (DTP) than word processing software. The apps featured here are suitable for creating all types of print and online publications including newsletters.
Jul 13, 2010 Question: Q: How can I open a microsoft publisher file on my ipad I have a bunch of publisher files I need to port over and can't find a program to open them with. I have tried keynote, pages, documents to go and quickoffice.
I didn't want to buy MS Office for Mac, so I downloaded Apache OpenOffice, which seemed to take all of my Word and Excel documents perfectly fine. The problem was the Publisher ones. I discovered that Publisher has it's own special format and there was no other program to open and edit it.
Aug 18, 2017 I can't find a good way to actually open and edit a Microsoft Publisher file on a Mac - but you can convert the Publisher file to PDF and then break it apart in Acrobat Pro, then use text.

Here are two websites that can convert Microsoft publisher files to PDF.

Was it created in a different (earlier) version of publisher? Was it created on a different machine (different operating system)? Some of the security built in to newest versions of office and Windows will block you from editing that document. 2020-4-1 Does Microsoft Publisher work on Mac? Microsoft Publisher is only available for PC. What is the equivalent of Microsoft Publisher on Mac? There are several desktop publishing alternatives to Microsoft Publisher. While Apple computers come with some basic publishing programs such as Pages, Lucidpress offers a more robust publishing platform that.

You can then open, read and print the pdf file on your Mac. You can even edit them.

I have tested both of these conversion sites and they both work pretty well. They are both free.

Site one is easier, to use, just read the instructions below, but I’ve included two sites just in case one of them goes down or doesn’t work for you.

Thanks so much! I don’t understand why Publisher isn’t Mac-compatible when most Office products are.

Oh, my goodness! I am so grateful for this! I have so many Publisher files that I haven’t been able to see since I bought my Mac in 2017; most of them being poems I’ve written. This will make it so easy to see them once again. Thank you, thank you!!!

Lauren,

Find out what savings your school is offering with our! There are two main ways: 1) Your school or department web store. Microsoft office per mac gratis. FAQs How can I get academic software deals through OnTheHub?

The office suite is molded to the Mac by the Mac Business Unit at MS. They do so because those tools have little competition in the marketplace. When it comes to design functions, most of those on the mac are far surpassed by the Adobe product line – InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. So MS doesn’t bother porting Publisher to the mac because it can’t compete. Simple cost-benefit analysis.

Thank you so much! Online2pdf worked like a charm.

In looking at the two sites offered here, both seem to have file size limitations. One actually states it at 100MB while the other just fails to work (I was parsing a 142MB file to PDF from PUB).

A better working site, for me, has turned out to be https://www.zamzar.com/
It actually appears to be a better site all the way around as it easily parsed my larger files and offers several conversion file types.

Great tip thanks Gordon

Question – Our Creative department works on Mac’s but one of our clients needs files in Publisher (they work on PC’s) Is there any Mac software that will let you save as a Publisher file?

ReplyWaynesays:October 16, 2019 at 9:19 pm

Not that I know of.

ReplyPatsysays:November 29, 2019 at 5:15 pm

Thank you – this is very helpful – the second listed site worked for me

Another good site that has less restrictions is https://www.filezigzag.com/online-converter . Bulk conversions available as well.

This is brilliant. Thanks very much.

Many thanks! Option 1 worked like a charm.

Site one: http://online2pdf.com

With this site you upload a Microsoft publisher file and the site automatically converts it and then you download it via your Safari web browser as a PDF file.

1. Go to online2pdf.com

2. Click on the browse button and upload your publisher file.

3. The file will automatically download as a safari download.

4. Click on the download and it will open in preview and you can print it.

This has Google ads along the right hand sidebar so I assume it is funded by Google advertising. Microsoft powerpoint for mac free download 2013.

Site two: http://www.publishertopdf.com

This site is similar.

1. Go to publishertopdf.com

2. Drag your file on this icon to upload it.

3. When the orange download box appears, click on it. This can take a few minutes for large files.

This second site doesn’t have any advertising.

I have tested both these sites and they both worked for the file I was converting which was a four-page document including text and images. I couldn’t see that one site worked any better than the other.

Thanks to Gordon’s comment below, here’s another site that looks great and handles bigger files:
