Convert PDF

Save your Microsoft Publisher files as PDF files, then upload them here to convert them into editable Catholic Publisher files. The conversion fee covers the AI tools I pay for, or you can recreate your documents by hand in Catholic Publisher. The converter does a good job when you follow the directions below, but it may not be perfect. Try one, and see if you like it. No refunds.

Before you upload

  • If you have text on top of images, then remove the images before saving the file to PDF.
  • Keep images that have no text over them. Text that wraps around an image is fine, too.
  • Text on top of solid colors is okay.
