Most designers are producing page layouts for publications using InDesign, the industry standard. Publications typically have to be shared with other designers who need to repurpose the content with the design software they use. Therefore, an ideal utility that would make Affinity Publisher fit in the workflow of other designers would convert Affinity Publisher files to .idml files. It would be best if the conversion did not require many tweeks to make the text flow and appear exactly like the original Affinity layout when opened in InDesign, but without some capability to export to a format that can be opened in InDesign you just have a stand-alone product. That not how the advertising and publishing world works. Placing a .pdf in either Affinity Publisher or InDesign does not make the content "live" and editable in either application.
