What program will convert a .pub doc with graphics to a PDF file?

[Cmac3]

The document (a family cookbook) has text and color photos. I created it in
Publisher with Microsoft 2003. I downloaded Adobe 9 and Acrobat, but it is
telling me that it won't convert .pub files. Should I download a different
PDF creator like www.primopdf.com and try again? I took the pub. file to
Kinko's for printing, but they didn't have the same font and margins and
recommended I come back with my document as a pdf. file. Help! Thanks.

==================================
The file needs to be opened in MS Publisher
before it can be converted to .pdf.

Matbe you could download the 60 day Pub2007
trial version and use it:

Primo PDF is good and there is also an Add-In
that adds .pdf support to Publisher 2007:

2007 Microsoft Office Add-in:
Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS

If you have Acrobat, you can create a .pdf file from anything. Nothing is
"converted" tho - you do a File - Print - and change the printer driver to
the .pdf creating driver.

The Acrobat Reader will not convert Publisher files.

There is no good method for converting publisher files before Publisher 2007
into PDF. Publisher 2007 has a PDF icon which converts multi-page documents
to PDF without losing margins and shifting text to the next page. I also
upgraded to Acrobat 8, and that may be necessary if you are using older an
version.

Just a quick question:

Did you download a trial version of Acrobat or just the free Reader?
