So it is often required to convert files with .pub extension to another, well-spread and comfortable-to-use format. Here is the conversion functionality for .NET. This C# library includes the needed conversion functionality that can be used for the creation of your own project. Aspose.PUB API Solution supports PUB to PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLXL, CSV, PPTX, XPS, EPU, TEX, HTML, MHTML, and SVG conversion.

Let’s look at the functionality through the PUB to JPEG conversion.

This code snippet is written in C# to demonstrate how to work with Microsoft Publisher (.pub) files using Aspose.PUB. The purpose of the code is to convert a Publisher file into a JPG and save the result as a file. Here is an explanation of the code:

  1. Retrieve the path to the documents directory.
  2. Construct the full path to a specific Publisher file using the PubFactory Class.
  3. Creates and use a parser to parse the Publisher file into a document object using the Parse() Method of IPubParser Interface.
  4. Convert the document to a JPG image and save it to a file using ConvertToFile() Method.

C# Code for Publisher PUB to JPEG Conversion

    using Aspose.Pub;
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    // The path to the documents directory.
    string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_Data();

    string fileName = dataDir + "halloween-flyer.pub";

    var parser = PubFactory.CreateParser(fileName);

    var doc = parser.Parse();

    //Convert to jpg and save the result as file "halloween-flyer_out.jpg"
    ConvertToFile(doc, PubExportFormats.Jpg, dataDir + "halloween-flyer_out.jpg");
