Microsoft Publisher is being discontinued, and many users need a practical way to migrate old .pub files into modern desktop publishing formats. In this video, David Dilling from Markzware introduces OmniMarkz SE 2026 for Windows, now with Microsoft Publisher support, and shows how easy it is to convert Publisher files into editable formats for Affinity, Adobe InDesign and other workflows. The transcript also highlights that OmniMarkz SE can handle more than Publisher, including InDesign, QuarkXPress, PDF, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Affinity DTP or design files.
This demo focuses on how simple the workflow is: install OmniMarkz SE, drag and drop a file, let the conversion run automatically, and open the result in Affinity, a free DTP application from Canva. The video also explains that font substitution may still be needed, which is normal in file conversion, but text, images, transparency, and layout structure come through in an editable form.
If you need to move away from Microsoft Publisher on Windows, this video shows a clear path forward.
