So you used a viewer for Windows then? Or Office? They're absolute shits the way they do that. I have a 3rd party program (for Windows only) which uses pub files. It was a program put together from a non-profit organisation, which makes you think they would use a more open solution... Silly me! Now I have to find a way to convert the files to something else that everyone can read.
