Microsoft Publisher to Adobe InDesign file converter

Desktop Publishing is always everywhere now a days. In it’s early digital age, many publishing companies uses Microsoft Publisher and some uses its competitor’s software. Personally, I was also into Microsoft Publisher to do brochures, letterheads, postcards, and calling cards. I bet some are still using it now a days but I already shifted to a more advanced tool from Adobe called Adobe InDesign. Working with InDesign gives me more flexibility with my layouts and it offers many of design options and tools.

If you happened playing with this two desktop publishing tools and want to work Microsoft Publisher files directly into Adobe InDesign, here’s a thing to try – PUB2ID – Microsoft Publisher To Adobe InDesign.

PUB2ID (Microsoft Publisher to Adobe InDesign) is a plug-in for Adobe InDesign.
