    Jan Prague got a reaction from debussy in DXF or DWG file import in Affinity Designer   
    We need to keep this topic live, so here is my two cents   I have recently bought complete Affinity software with the intention to stop my Adobe CC subscription. So far, so good. But as other people above I often work with CNC cutter. My is Silhoulete plotter and the software only supports DXF import.
    I think I can survive with online converters, but direct support in Affinity bundle would really be welcome. I recently convinced whole pre-press studio to take a look at the bundle. They have old Adobe CS suite and they consider shifting to Affinity too. Also, DXF support for daily use is a mandatory there. By the way, you really make a good impression by Furrier Transform filtr in Photo, they often scan old newspaper images and this feature is lifesaver for them...
     
    So, please! Add DXF support ❤️

    Jan Prague got a reaction from mrtymcln in [IDML Implemented] How can I open Indesign (indd and idml) Files in Publisher?   
    Hi all, I second that request for at least partial InDesign support too. 
    I have paid Adobe CC complete package for couple of years now and I'm getting tired of theirs pricing policy, specially when using only couple of apps of theirs: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, Audition, Lightroom and few more occasionally. I have been using these products for last 25 years quite happily. But with CC, everything changed.
    Thanks to Affinity and Apple, I have substitutes for almost all of Adobe SW I use on regular basis, but InDesign. I have learned about Affinity Publisher just today, and I jumped in excitement that there might finally be a way out for me  I don't really need full indd support, just to convert my older files and live without Adobe for the rest of my life or until they introduce more flexible pay model.
    For those looking for similar switch from Adobe, here is what I'm quite satisfied with.
    Illustrator > Affinity Designer Lightroom > Apple Photos, Apple Aperture Premiere > Apple iMovie (limited, but good enough for me) Audition > Apple GarageBand  Dreamweaver > netBeans Photoshop > Affinity Photo, Apple Photos, Apple Preview

    I don't think it should necessarily be such a battle. I believe Serif can deliver decent alternative for semi-pro and amateur tools capable of pro-level results. For a fraction of costs in comparison to Adobe monopoly.
    Every now and then people are asking me what SW they should use for personal level editing of photos and documents. Not much alternatives there...

    I know this isn't the ideal solution fr all and has been mentioned elswhere.
    I have recently taken most of my idesign templates I use for various clients , exported them as PDF and opened them in Publisher, including multi page documents, and it did a VERY good job reformatting them to Publisher. Most needed zero after the fact tweaking. Fonts were correct, as were all the text and paragraph attributes.  
     
    So I too would like indesign import/export functionality but I am finding it less crucial than I thought as I wait for Publisher to get an official release and start it's road as a viable Indiesgn replacement.

    It's not just the total spend (sending Adobe $50+ every month indefinitely) that is of concern. The other major concern is that you lose control of all of your own work product once you decide to drop the subscription.
    If you drop your subscription, for whatever reason, the Adobe apps that remain installed on your computer prevent you from editing, printing and exporting your own work product. Your files become read-only files. 
    The only solution to this major problem is to proactively save all of your Adobe produced work as a PDF (which can be opened and edited with many 3rd party apps, including the Affinity suite), or to be willing to resubscribe to the Adobe suite for a month just to regain access to your old work product.
    This is perhaps the most onerous part of having to rent one's tools from Adobe, rather than owning a permanent license to one's tools.
