MS Publisher is a program to create documents that are focused to work with page layout information. The program opens the next file formats MS Publisher 2.0 or later, files with a .txt extension, RTF files, MS Word files, HTML files, Unicode text, and many more. Pub files may include different types of data like images, texts, or graphics. That is why the format is well-spread in creating flyers, brochures, postcards, and other paper advertisement production.

With this software, you have the capability to either craft your own personalized document designs or utilize pre-formatted designs for your documents. MS Publisher stores its files with the .pub extension, and not many applications other than Publisher are capable of handling such files.

Advanced C++ PUB Manipulation API Features

Export PUB Files to PDF

This C++ code is used to convert a Microsoft Publisher (.pub) file to a Portable Document Format (.pdf) file.

Convert PUB to PDF - C++

    System::String SourcPubFile = dataDir() + u"1.pub";

    System::String filePdf = dataDir() + u"result_out.pdf";

    System::SharedPtr parser = PubFactory::CreateParser(SourcPubFile);

    System::SharedPtr document = parser->Parse();

    PubFactory::CreatePdfConverter()->ConvertToPdf(document, filePdf);

The code above can be briefly explained the next way:

  • Define a variable SourcPubFile of type System::String and initialize it with the path to the source .pub file. The dataDir() function returns the path to the data directory, and "u" is a prefix for a Unicode string literal.
  • Define a variable filePdf of type System::String and initializes it with the path to the destination .pdf file.
  • Create a parser object for the source .pub file using the CreateParser() Method of the PubFactory Class and passing it the SourcPubFile variable.
  • Call the Parse() Method on the parser object to parse the source .pub file.
  • Use the ConvertToPdf() Method of the PdfConverter Class. The method takes two arguments: the document object and the path to the destination .pdf file and fulfills the conversion.

Access and Manipulate PUB Layers

Aspose.PUB for C++ API provides access to the layers in a Microsoft Publisher .pub file, allowing you to draw on the layers with either images or text. You can combine layers, modify text, apply effects, or export layers as images. Additionally, this API can detect flattened .pub files and generate thumbnails.

Read or Create PUB Files

The Solution not only supports the loading and manipulation of Photoshop .psd and Large Document Format .psb files, but it also offers the ability to create Microsoft Publisher .pub and .psb files from scratch. C++ developers can utilize this API to automate processes and streamline their workflow.

Various Imaging Filters

Aspose.PUB API Solution for C++ offers essential imaging features through its class libraries, including the ability to adjust color. Developers can easily modify the brightness, contrast, or gamma of a raster image loaded with the API. Additionally, they can dynamically dither or blur images, as well as apply popular filters such as Median, Gauss Wiener, Motion Wiener, and Bradley Threshold.
