• Step 1: Open the Microsoft Publisher File That Needs to be Converted

  
  Launch your Microsoft Publisher application. Then, open the Publisher file that you wish to convert into PDF.

  

• Step 2: Select the File Tab and Click Export

  
  After the file has been opened, click the File tab in Publisher’s ribbon. Then select the Export option from the left-side menu.

• Step 3: Select the Create PDF/XPS Button

  
  You are now at the Export options’ Create PDF/XPS Document section. Microsoft Publisher provides some justifications for converting your Publisher file to PDF in this section, such as preserving formatting and style, making it more difficult for others to edit the file, and providing free online viewing of the file. Simply select the Create PDF/XPS button.

• Step 4: Save the File as a PDF

  
  The Publish as PDF or XPS dialog box will appear. In the “Save as Type” box, you’ll see that it is already set as PDF, meaning it will be saved as a PDF. Before you save the file, make some tweaks. Click Options. A Publish Options dialog box appears. Make the desired changes, then click OK. Finally, click the Publish button to finalize the conversion process.
