By admin | April 25, 2009

If you have ever had a critical publisher file damaged, you would receive an error from Publisher stating it cannot open the file. If the file was a really important file, then the data contained within it would have been lost forever. But there is a small utility called Recovery for Publisher that will allow you to recover your damaged publisher files.
