Use File>Place to select the other document and you'll be able to place it on the page. If that Publisher file has more than one page, you'll be able to select which one you want to display on the page from the Context Toolbar
Thanks for pointing this out! I tried this a while ago but missed that you could select the pages you wanted to view from the document Agree with others, it's not a full-alternative to the way InDesign handles it, but it's definitely something. Only problem I found is that it's cropping to the page bounds of my source docs. My source docs have 3mm bleed set - is it possible to include the bleed as an option when importing/viewing? Or do you need to create the source docs with the bleed as part of the spread dims (i.e. 210 x 297mm with 3 mm bleed becomes a 216 x 303mm spread)?
Secondly ... I haven't tried this yet, but will these Publisher docs with linked .afpub files export to a print-ready PDF OK?
Thanks!

No there aren't any such batch export options so far. Actually you have to take third party PDF software for this purpose.
3rd-party software ... can you elaborate on this?

I have a number of multi-page AFPUB files that make up various parts of a ~200 page book. I know there's no 'Book' feature - like InDesign - but wondered if there's any way to batch the export-to-pdf stage? I'm thinking similar to how you might use the Batch feature in AF Photo - to save me exporting each one-by-one.
I can automate the newly-created PDF's to merge to one whole after this easily enough - although a 'Book' setup to do this all in one process would be really awesome...
Thanks for any help/suggestions in advance.

Having a similar issue - have files where I've changed opacity/density on the mask and now the whole layer is being affected by this opacity change rather than the mask / nested part. Having to rejig a whole lot of my files now and invert the mask/layers etc which is a right pain.
