    Download CutePDF Writer and Ghostscript and from here

    It will install a virtual printer which will create the PDF's.

    Simply print your Publisher document to this virtual printer to create a PDF.

    You probably can convert a MS Publisher file into a pdf - but you need a pdf printer program to do so.

    Once you have it installed you simply choose the PDF printer from your list of printers under 'Print' just as you would for a paper printer.

    It then invokes the PDF program and chucks out a pdf file.

    But do you have a PDF printer program in the first place? It's not the same as a pdf reader (e.g Adobe Acrobat Reader).

    I have Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard which produces pdf's. If you want you can email me the file you need printed into pdf and I can do it and sens it back to you.

    PM me if u would like this.

    Actually I just realised I dont have MS Publisher on my machine so I'm afraid I won't be able to open your file.

    So probably can;t print it to pdf for you as easy as it would have been....sorry!

    But you can definately try out the free pdf printers such as pdf995.com although I'm not sure how good the quality is etc.

    Thanks

    PDFCreator is free and pretty good:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

    I've not used it much as I generally use OpenOffice when I want to do things that will be converted to PDF, but it seems OK.
