    Ok, I'm sorry - this IS actually the solution I was looking for - thank you so much! 🙂

    How many times have we heard this sort of thing before in the computer world?  Things change.

    Point taken about IDML not being an open format, even though I am not sure whether that means that Adobe actually bans other software developers from exporting into it or they just refuse to guarantee that it would import back into InDesign correctly?
    Also, the format is actually highly unlikely to change as it is basically a legacy format mainly used as a fallback option, providing a backwards compatibility between Adobe CC and CS which wouldn't work anymore if they changed it.
    I do understand that it wouldn't be a perfect solution for transfering documents between InDesign and Publisher but it would be still so much better to have at least some solution than not having any option (to get AFPUB document into InDesign) at all.
    Importing into Publisher does seem to work pretty well - I tried opening IDML of a 40 page catalogue (including objects with transparency, effects etc.) and even though I haven't inspected it thoroughly yet it did open just fine (at a glance anyway) - so I believe that if it wouldn't be a legal problem for Affinity to include the export option, it would be actually mostly reliable (and definitely a priceless addition to the suite).

    Hi, I'm trying to migrate from InDesign to Publisher but one major culprit is the lack of ability to export into any format that people could open (and edit) with InDesign - this could be a deal-breaker for some clients if they ever ask me about the source data of anything and I'll be only able to provide them with the AFPUB file.
    As much as I love seeing you competing with Adobe (and Publisher itself seems to be a huge contender for InDesign so far), Adobe is still the "industry-standard" (and probably will be in a foreseeable future) so being unable to export into a format that allows one to switch between Publisher and InDesign is a serious problem.
    Correct me if I'm wrong but since Publisher can actually import IDML files, it even looks like the lack of functionality in terms of exporting into the very same format is willful and deliberate, rather than actual technical limitation.
    Can you please add this much needed option? I understand that you want your customers to stay with your apps rather than going back to Adobe but this limitation really isn't helping your cause...
