On average, I am using 10 .ppp files a day and I am adding new files every day. These files are print ready and I use them as a proof and backup. I used to save all my files as a PDF, but because I had some issues with color change, objects missing etc. sometimes when reopening the file in PagePlus, I started to save them as .ppp files only.
The problem is, that no matter how careful you look to find these defects, the chances are, you are going to miss something and there is always somebody pickier than you, which is the customer.
I can easily lose $300 just because some check box wasn't there and the customer needs the product the next day.
It is not necessary to me to import .ppp files directly into Affinity, which would be ideal and for me it is incomprehensive why it isn't done, but any reliable option to get the files transferred into the new program will do.
A file converter perhaps, which I would be happy to buy.

Hi Patrick,
Let assume, that I am willing to convert all my over 3.000 files into PDF, which can change the colors of the design slightly, but still significant if you are a printing company or just picky like me.
Unfortunately, I have to go through this procedure no matter what program I choose for the future.
What is guaranting me that the same doesn't happen in the future to the affinity files, if there is a new product line lunched?

Loving the new Publisher. Its such a shame it came a bit too late for a project I am working on that really could have done with the Personas and I finished it in PagePlus. But now I am officially saying good bye to PagePlus and saying hello to Publisher.
Thank you for your efforts guys!
So, you are happy now that it still doesn't allow you to import *.ppp files?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums
The Affinity range is completely new and uses many new technologies when compared to the Plus range of apps. Due to these differences the Affinity apps can't directly import the older Plus range documents. However if you export to PDF or SVG first you'll be able to import them in to the Affinity apps and use all the new tools and features, then save in the newer file format which can be opened in any Affinity app on macOS, Windows and iPad.
This is not a satisfying answer and also not the first of this kind.
I think you should merge Jim B to the following threat
Open PagePlus (*.ppp) file
Never mind, you guys already closed this topic in 2018
QR generator and watermaking for Affinity Publisher V2
in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products

I just realized that no QR code generators exist in any of the apps.
Even PagePlus has one. It's not particularly great, but it's still better than in InDesign.
The only thing worse than a bad QR code generator is having none.
This is very disappointing.
