Convert Publisher Files to PDF on a Mac
Well… Not “ON” a Mac, but you do not need to touch a PC to convert a Microsoft Publisher file to a PDF. Our church is about 60 percent PC’s and 40 percent Macs. Occasionally, I have staff members send me a Microsoft Publisher file and I cannot view it on my Mac. [...]
Well… Not “ON” a Mac, but you do not need to touch a PC to convert a Microsoft Publisher file to a PDF. Our church is about 60 percent PC’s and 40 percent Macs. Occasionally, I have staff members send me a Microsoft Publisher file and I cannot view it on my Mac. Of course I could open up Parallels or Boot Camp and run Publisher in Windows Mode, but there is an easier way to view these files. Check out Pdfonline.com (www.pdfonline.com).
You can convert these following formats into PDF:
MS Word (DOC | RTF)
-MS PowerPoint (PPT)
-MS Publisher (PUB)
-MS Excel (XLS)
-HTML (MHT)
-Text (TXT)
-JPG , GIF,
-TIFF, BMP
-PNG, EMF,
-WMF
It is free, it is fast, and I do not need to use a PC. This has solved alot of inter-compatibility between our computers… Of course, I could train everyone not to use publisher, but that is a whole-nother issue

Hey Everyone! Just got back from Vacation in Florida and had a wonderful time. I never knew the beach is so white in Sarasota… Today I wanted to give a few ideas on video sharing and distribution. If your church is looking for a way to upload videos and distribute them to your congregation for free? Forget about YouTube, try Vimeo (an anagram of the word movie). Vimeo is really the “Facebook” of Myspace. Clean, less advertising, easier to use and more powerful. Vimeo allows 1280×720HD movies as well as the possibility to download the original movie if the author wishes to allow this. Vimeo also give you 500 meg of upload space a week. Did I mention the quality is WAY BETTER than youtube? It is just as easy to embed your videos
Check it out for yourself at www.vimeo.com
Here is one of the Standard Definition videos we uploaded…
