• Given the nature of some of the limitations discussed in this guide, it is essential that the MS
Publisher author supply a PDF of the document created by MS Publisher so the Pub2ID user
will know what the document is supposed to look like. This PDF need not be of the highest
quality but it should have all fonts embedded to provide a useful visual of the text style and
flow. Without a "soft proof" like this, reworking the converted InDesign document to faithfully
reproduce the look and feel of the original, may prove to be very difficult. Publisher 2007 has
PDF output capability. For users of previous MS Publisher versions, the freeware PDF
creation print driver "doPDF" from Softland
• (http://www.dopdf.com/) is suggested as being suitable for creating this "soft proof".
• Each version of MS Publisher can open any previous MS Publisher version document.
Therefore, the Pub2ID user must rely on the MS Publisher author to identify the document MS
Publisher version; otherwise there is no way to ascertain the version. Documents from MS
Publisher 2000 and earlier must be opened in MS Publisher 2002 or higher and re-saved
before converting them with Pub2ID.
If you are working with Pub2ID on Windows, you must make sure that the MS Publisher document
you are converting is not open in a local copy of MS Publisher. MS Publisher locks the open file
and you will receive a failure dialog in InDesign that looks like the image above.
