How to Import Adobe PDF Files to Publisher on a PC

When you want to reuse the content of a PDF in Microsoft Publisher but you lack access to the file from which you produced it, you can't import the file directly into your target application. Fortunately, Microsoft Word can help you convert it into a format that Publisher can read. Depending on the types of formatting you used in preparing the original document and the amount of graphical material it incorporates, you may face some intensive rework to make the results of your conversion process look as much as possible like the PDF.

Convert PDF

1. Launch Microsoft Word. Open the "File" menu and choose "Open."
2. Navigate to the location of the PDF you want to use in Microsoft Publisher. Select the file and click the "OK" button to begin the file conversion.
3. Click the "OK" button in the dialog box that opens to warn you that the process may be time consuming and its results may look different from the original file. Save the converted PDF document in Word format.
