MS Publisher Viewer - workaround



One of the most active keyword searches that I have with my blog is for a Microsoft Publisher Viewer. If you're familiar with Publisher you'll know that the short answer is that there is no Publisher viewer application. If you're familiar with my blog, you'll know I post cool stuff too.

So, with this in mind, today I have a sort of solution for the Publisher viewer program. It's a free online PDF document creator. Visit it at www.pdfonline.com. Here you can upload files in a variety of formats including Microsoft Publisher and files can be up to 2Mb in size - that's the real limit here. The file will be converted into a pdf format file and emailed direct to you.

It's simple and effective and a workaround for the Publisher Viewer problem - you get to see and read the contents of the file and that's what you're looking for.

Excellent tip!
Also for files larger that 2MB use their email service, Worked perfectly for me on a Publisher file 3.7MB.
