Thank all for responding. Went for Affinity as I thought it would be basic and deal with .pdf to .doc. Seems I got that wrong. Nice at least to know to stop wasting my time. Yes thanks also, tried opening the large file in Word, but it said largest file limited to 40MB so nowhere near sufficient. Looks like I am going to have to try one of the editors on the web, as very rarely need to do this and does not justify a licence fee and loads of time trying to learn... thanks again...Des

Have a large .pdf, hundreds A4 pages mixed photographs and texts. Need to edit in Word .doc, for upload to new system. Affinity Publisher converted to .afpub really easily, but so complicated from there to edit, but managing. But my supporter needs it as Word .doc... web searching does not provide a logical Affinity answer. Export does not mention Word .doc. Is there a way to do it? Properly with Affinity and not buying more software? Thanks.. Des

Thank you. Will get back into experimenting soon; it does look like it is going to help with my self publishing artist book agenda. Des

High. Apologies if this is just my ignorance. As never worked with publishing sw before and even Blurb confuses me. But loaded to Affinity Publisher a Blurb .pdf of my book to try and take control. What seemed to happen was when opening on Affinity the images seemed great, but all the text had a duplication of the same text over it. Then when I went into text and deleted the duplication the original text underneath was good. Now this might be an intentional Blurb thing. Also cannot work out how to edit the text; assuming perhaps it is an image and not actual text?? Thanks. Hopefully useful and not just a distraction. high res Venice blurb.pdf

Great, looks really good. And pretty close to what I am trying to achieve. Have to date been using Blurb's Bookwright, as a non-pro. self publisher. Affinity gives me loads more creative printing options. Started today to experiment and have been really impressed with its usability, but trying to find how to make the book's cover; front cover, rear cover and spine. Blurb's tool presents it as complete model so the information just needs to be put in. Am I missing this here?? Very best wishes, Des.

It might be me? As an artist-photographer, not a pro. publishing specialist. Accidentally imported draft .pdf book file and was shocked it seemed to work so easily and well. But then very surprised that .docx and rtf files say not recognised. Will have to live with that; unless it has been implemented and I have not found it?
