Adobe PageMaker was desktop-publishing software from Adobe. A PUBF file is a native document associated with PageMaker version 2 for Mac and may contain formatted text, images, and layout information for a publication.
This is a legacy document format from an early Macintosh version of PageMaker. The original software is no longer developed, and the format is not commonly used on current versions of macOS.
Open the file with a compatible copy of Adobe PageMaker for Mac. Because PageMaker 2 is legacy software, it may require an older Macintosh environment or a suitable emulation or virtualization setup.
Modern desktop-publishing applications generally do not open PUBF files directly.
If the file can be opened in a compatible PageMaker installation, use the available print or export options to create a more accessible format such as PDF.
Check the resulting PDF carefully, because fonts, linked graphics, and page layout may not reproduce exactly.
