    I'm trying to help out a local primary school with their website. They've got a newsletter that they publish every now and again and would like to put a copy of it on their website. The problem is the newsletter is written using Microsoft Publisher.
    There is an option in Publisher to "Convert to Web Publication". This looked to be what i was looking for, it created the html pages and an associated folder for what i thought would just be the images for each page. I set it up and viewed it through IIS locally and everything looked fine. It wasnt till i went to ftp it to the school's host that i discovered that the folder for each web page was about 11mb in size!!! They contained a couple of .png and .wmz files that were 3-4mb each.

    Is there any other way that i can convert the pages? is there any other software that can import publisher projects and convert them without all the crud?

    Acrobat would do it, but you'd need to pay for a licence...

    Educational licence of adobe acrobat 6.0 standard is GBP 94.95.

    there might be freeware / shareware / cheaper than £100 convert to PDF utilities out there?


    EDIT: this might do

    are you sure? the Publisher project file is a .pub not a .pdf...

    Acrobat works like a printer driver, so it takes the printable output of the page and makes a PDF file from it. The free one I posted does the same thing, but it shows you an ad after "printing"...

    Have a look at PDF995. Free with ads*, less than ten dollars without.

    * I don't mean ads in the PDF. The ads appear in the application itself.
