Microsoft Publisher Document (PUB) is the native format of Microsoft Publisher, a desktop-publishing application aimed at newsletters, brochures, flyers, greeting cards, and other page-layout work. Unlike Word, Publisher treats a page as a canvas of independently positioned text boxes and graphics, giving precise control over layout. A PUB file stores that arrangement along with the text, images, and print settings. Microsoft has announced that Publisher will be retired in October 2026.
How to open a PUB file?
Microsoft Publisher, included with some Microsoft 365 plans on Windows, is the only application that renders PUB files exactly as designed.
No other application reproduces Publisher’s full feature set — LibreOffice Draw imports many PUB files, though complex layouts often shift. The most dependable approach is to ask the sender to export the document as a PDF from Publisher, which preserves the layout perfectly and opens anywhere. Our PUB to PDF tool can also do the conversion.

Word 97-2003 Document (DOC) is the original binary format of Microsoft Word, used as the default from the 1980s until Word 2007 replaced it with DOCX. A DOC file packs text, formatting, images, tables, and embedded objects into a single proprietary structure. Because that structure is binary rather than XML, DOC files are more prone to corruption, harder for other programs to interpret, and can carry macro-based malware.
How to open a DOC file?
Every current version of Microsoft Word still opens DOC files, usually in Compatibility Mode, and offers to convert them to the newer DOCX format.
LibreOffice Writer, Google Docs, and Apple Pages all handle DOC well. Since support for this legacy format is gradually being reduced, converting your archive is sensible — our DOC to DOCX and DOC to PDF tools do it in one step.
