A client gave me a Publisher file with images in it that I'm supposed to extract out of the file and use for another project. I use OpenOffice and it does not appear to support .pub files.
Any suggestions?
An older plugin that works with OpenOffice 2.3:
I didn't come across anything for the newer 3.x version of OpenOffice.
If you could ask your client to use the Pack and Go wizard, the fonts and pictures will be supplied in separate folders that you could then use. Google the wizard on how to use it.
I use File Juicer to extract images and text out of MS Publisher files. Depending on what is in your Publisher files, it may be the solution you are looking for.

In particular, you could try one of the online convert-to-pdf sites (I've used Submit the file for online translation to PDF. www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf/ before), and then extract what you want from the pdf.
I extracted images from a .pub file with Office 365 Publisher using
File => Export => Publish HTML (select Web Page HTML)
All images appear in a separate folder. Though the quality of images is minimal, and any improvement in it appreciated
