| Description | PUB is the file extension used by the Microsoft Publisher application, which is a key component of the Microsoft Office suite. PUB files contain objects such as images, graphics, formatted text, and other types of content. However, these file formats are typically used for amateur publishing, with professionals opting for more advanced file types. |
| Technical details | Microsoft Publisher files contain elements such as graphics, images, formatted text, and objects. The file extension has been revised from version 3.0 for Windows 95 to the new version 14 used by Microsoft Publisher 2010. One drawback is that these files are not portable and cannot be used with other applications such as Microsoft Word, making it difficult to share them with others. However, with the trial version of Microsoft Publisher, it is possible to view .pub files. |
