+1 export to IDML. It's imperative for professional book publishing. I can't get rid of my InDesign subscription until this happens.

Here's the PSDDragonGodsTEST.psd

Here's what it looks like in Photoshop

Symbol_power.tif Pages from Cat_CORE_Alert_v10.pdf Attached. I pulled the one relevant page out of a multi-page PDF, so it will need to be relinked.

Cat_CORE_Rules_TEST.idml Attached is the IDML file.

Thank you for the reply. Here's a comparison … CORRECT: first image is how it looks as an INDD file in InDesign, with white card and transparent lightning. INCORRECT: Second image is how it looks in Publisher opening the IDML file, with transparent card and white lightning.

Can you point me at that, MikeW?

I'm sorry I misspoke. The error is in Photo 2.0.4, not Publisher. Still occurs with the two PSD import options toggled on in Preferences>General.

When you Save As to IDML in today's InDesign, the option is listed as "InDesign CS4 or later (IDML)". So my thinking is that it seems CS4 can read IDML as a native pre-2014 INDD file … even though IDML was only used for library files when CS4 was published. The INDD format likely changed when Adobe moved to Creative Cloud, even though it uses the same file extension, thus the need for IDML for backward compatibility. So, I know any part of my assumptions could be wrong here. But I'm looking at having to convert several hundred files from pre-2014 INDD format to IDML to move from Adobe to Affinity, and I'd rather not if the solution is just to ask for a new import feature. So it doesn't hurt to ask? Screen shots are attached of a pre-2014 INDD file's code when opened in BBEdit, since you asked about that.

Thank you for your reply, fde101. I did search before I posted, so I'd already found the links you listed. They're for Affinity 1 rather than Affinity 2, and are in an archived forum, so no longer relevant. This is a new feature request for the current version.

Retried the import process, and this time the glyphs came though. Please close this thread, and thanks for the quick reply.

This is a feature request for a 3D modelling feature in Affinity 2. Export as .stl file for 3D printing, .stp file for making molds, etc.
