Macro to export all publisher pages as individual jpg or png

[CBell]

OMG, I am SOOOOO glad I found this (pretty old) thread!

I had a 631-page Publisher file I needed to get into PowerPoint for a slideshow and was beginning to have a panic attack at the idea of save each page as a JPEG one at a time! But, this worked perfectly and you helped me out tremendously. Thank you for posting it!

There is not much info out there on VBA programming for Publisher (I had a hard time finding it anyway), and I needed to export each page in a publisher file as an individual graphic (jpg or png). Although you can do a Save As and save each page one at a time, that becomes a little tedious, so I wrote this macro to export all the pages individually as a graphics file.

Hope this is helpful to somebody!

Sub Export_All_Pages_As_Graphic()
'Ask whether to proceed or not
BtnPress = MsgBox("Save all pages as individual pictures?", vbOKCancel)
'If they pressed OK then proceed, otherwise do nothing.
If BtnPress = 1 Then
'Make sure two-page spread is set to FALSE, otherwise it might export the two pages as one picture, instead of individually.
'NOTE: This may not be necessary, but just in case!
   ActiveDocument.ViewTwoPageSpread = False
   'How many total pages in document?
   TotalPages = ActiveDocument.Pages.Count
   'Loop thru all pages one at a time
   For PgCnt = 1 To TotalPages
      'When you convert integer to string it adds a space in front, so need to remove the leading space
      PgNumber = Str(PgCnt)
      PgLen = Len(PgNumber)
      PgNumber = Right(PgNumber, PgLen - 1)
      'All names are three characters with leading zeros like 002.png 014.png 123.png
      If PgCnt < 10 Then
         PgFilename = "00" + PgNumber
         ElseIf PgCnt < 100 Then
         PgFilename = "0" + PgNumber
         Else
         PgFilename = PgNumber
      End If
      'Add the appropriate fileformat extension. You can use .png and .jpg for sure. There may be others, but did not test any.
      PgFilename = PgFilename + ".png"
      'Save the page
      ActiveDocument.Pages(PgCnt).SaveAsPicture (PgFilename)
   Next PgCnt
   'Tell them you are done and how many pages were saved
   MsgBox "DONE! Saved" + Str(TotalPages) + " pages."
End If
End Sub
