Microsoft Publisher reached end of support as of October 1, 2026. If this deadline has left your company in a difficult position, Microsoft provided a PowerShell script that automatically converts files to PDF in bulk. This will allow for future viewing of your Publisher files.
The script does not require extensive PowerShell knowledge. Microsoft provided the script, and administrators simply need to run it against folders containing Publisher files.
Need Help Converting Old Publisher Files?
If your organization still has a large archive of Publisher documents, Landis Technologies can help identify available conversion options and determine whether bulk conversion or alternative tools such as LibreOffice Draw are appropriate for your environment.
