I am assembling ads for a charity dinner brochure... one of the "already designed" ads showed up with a .pub suffix. Obviously I can't import it into Quark... NOW what do I do? And I do not have the time to get it redone or evenb get a printed copy so I could scan it...
Any ideas?
I have Illustrator & Photoshop & Quark & InDesign...

Hi T
Short of locating a PC with MS Publisher, you'll most likely need to send the files to someone who has Publisher. They can then "print" as a PDF and send back to you.

Westbo's correct.
Alternately, you can send it back to whomever sent it to have them print to PDF. Hopefully, you can teach them that Publisher isn't a real document layout tool.

Re-education is unlikely... an elderly nun did the design and is soooo proud of her very first design... however it turns out there is a printed version I can scan after all...
publisher... bah...

The first project I ever received from a client was in Publisher, about 10 years ago. It hasn't got any better.

if anything it has gotten worse...less support, more versions that can't talk to each other, and i'm not sure if they still have the kit for venders/printers etc.
Sometimes Graphics Converter can open a file--not usually with the text intact, but if it is all just a flat raster logo or something it could work. Not everyone can print a PDF from publisher, but there are other alternate formats they can save, even a PostScript file.

The PDF route MAY work. I would export as a JPG or something.
