[dba-Tech] Reading Publisher files

Andy,
It's too bad the fellow can't ask his source to make a small change.  If 
he could, it would be a fine idea for the source to install pdf995 and 
simply print their PUB file to a PDF file.  He might be doing them a 
favor by suggesting it.  Otherwise, I think you are correct, he's just 
going to have to buy Publisher.  I found out recently that earlier 
versions of Publisher (not sure how early) are not reading current 
versions - so your fellow would do well to buy a very current version.
Kind regards,
Tina
