How to create PDFs from MS Publisher?

[briannaa22319388]

I have always been able to create PDFs directly from MS Publisher. Today I got a new desktop PC and now I can no longer create them from Publisher. I have the Acrobat Ribbon in MS Word, Excel, and Power Point but not Publisher. I do quite a lot in Publisher that I need to export to PDFs. Why does this application not have access to the Acrobat Ribbon?

It has been a number of Acrobat releases since Acrobat PDFMaker support was withdrawn from Microsoft Publisher (internal Adobe business decision based on exceptionally low use of the feature). And even with the older versions of Acrobat that did provide PDFMaker support for Publisher, they would not have supported the versions of Publisher that were newer than the version of Acrobat.

PS:     Note that you still should be able to use Publisher's built-in “Save as PDF” albeit with various limitations in terms of its ability to produce quality PDF files.
