The amount of times I have received a publisher file in an email. Listen up people, Linux and Apple users cannot use Publisher files (for that matter neither can BeOS/OS2/any unix variant/anything other than windows users).

I know I could probably use wine, or a vmware image. But I don’t want to. The fact is Publisher is a second rate application, and I don’t want to touch it.

But to the point! I just found pdfonline.com. This is not an advertisement, in fact I didn’t read the usage terms and my email address may very well have been sent to a spam king somewhere. But needless to say their online converter worked, and I converted a publisher attachment, it turns out wasn’t worth bothering with, into a pdf document.

Suck that you publisher users! I will not be soiled by your poor software choices.
