Hi

I am very sorry to inform you that there is no way of opening .pub files in open source environment as it is. There is a software called scribus in open source environment that mostly similar to the Microsoft Publisher. But they do not provide the facility to open .pub files in that software scribus.

You can get more details about the scribus from here

https://www.scribus.net/scribus-1-4-6-released/

You can download it from here

Otherwise there are converters that can convert .pub file in to other formats. From that you can only read it.

There is no way to convert .pub files even into open office file type.

Thanks

1. Open Microsoft Publisher.

2. Go to Files tab and select Open.

3. Choose your file from your directory and then you can read it.
