Publisher - Microsoft Publisher Edition for Android

Brief overview

Publisher Expert — Microsoft Publisher Edition is an Android application that lets you work with Microsoft Publisher (PUB) files on your phone or tablet. It provides tools to create, open, edit, export, print and convert PUB documents while keeping the original layout intact. The app is designed to be approachable for casual users but feature-rich enough for productivity tasks.

Supported storage locations

You can load and save PUB files from several sources:

• Google Drive and other cloud accounts linked to your device
• OneDrive or personal email attachments
• Local phone storage and Dropbox

Core file actions

The app handles common PUB workflows so you can produce publications without a desktop:

• Create new PUB documents from scratch using predefined page sizes
• Open existing PUB files for viewing or further editing
• Edit content, convert file formats, then save or export the results
• Send exported documents by email or upload them to cloud storage
• Print directly from the device when needed

Editing and layout features

Publisher Expert includes a compatible object library and editing environment that mirrors many Microsoft Publisher conventions. Key capabilities include:

• Full support for editing text, tables, images and form elements
• Tools to add shapes, graphics and new text boxes
• An object-properties panel for adjusting font, color, borders, fills and rotation
• Fast selection actions such as cut, copy and paste to rearrange elements

Page handling and viewing

The app renders pages with high fidelity so the original formatting and layout are preserved. Viewing controls and page management include:

• Smooth page rendering that keeps spacing and design intact
• Swipe left or right to browse multiple pages
• Insert or delete pages and apply page backgrounds as needed

Offline operation and sharing

A standout capability is that the app works entirely offline. You can create and edit PUB documents without an internet connection, then later sync or share when you have access:

• Work without Wi‑Fi or mobile data, ideal for travel or remote locations
• Export files to common formats and send them via email
• Upload finished work to cloud services or print from the device

Who it’s for

If you need a mobile, free solution to view and edit Publisher files—or to produce PUB documents on the go—this app provides a practical alternative to desktop Publisher, with many of the same objects and layout controls packaged for Android.
