How can I open Indesign (indd and idml) Files in Publisher?
kirknurse replied to Gabe Logan's topic in Discussions and Suggestions for Affinity Publisher Beta on Desktop
As someone who used InDesign from 1.0, I remember how buggy and the same complaints that people are expressing about Publisher were there as well. While it would be nice for the import compatibility it is not a deal-breaker (for me). If anything new I use publisher and anything old I can either rebuild the file or edit in InDesign -

Column Guides defaulting when reopening document
kirknurse posted a topic in Report bugs in Publisher beta on Windows
Hello, When setting up Column guides with the guide manager, I set it to outline not fill but when the document closes and is reopened it reverts back to the fill grey state. -

placing PDF Automatcally crops document
kirknurse posted a topic in Discussions and Suggestions for Affinity Publisher Beta on Desktop
Hi I am not sure if this is a bug or feature request. In previous versions of Publisher when I placed a PDF that had crop marks and bleeds it imported as is. The last two versions when I place the document it comes into the page cropped. However, when you go to edit you still see everything. There are instances where those marks and/or bleeds may be required. Is this just a bug or will you be implementing placement options that would allow the user to determine how the external document will be placed? -

Colour Changes when exporting to PDF Publisher 1.7.0.128
kirknurse replied to kirknurse's topic in Report bugs in Publisher beta on Windows
It was a vector file from a previous PDF File, I did some trouble-shooting and I deleted it and placed a Affinity Designer and it exported as expected. I think it may be an element in the file that caused the issue, as I was unable to replicate it. -
Colour Changes when exporting to PDF Publisher 1.7.0.128
kirknurse posted a topic in Report bugs in Publisher beta on Windows
When I place an item on the master page and export final items to PDF it changes the colour from what is in the document. However, when I remove the item from the master page and place it on the native pages it exports correctly. -
Affinity Publisher is not a copy of InDesign - no massive fail!
kirknurse replied to Mensch Mesch's topic in Discussions and Suggestions for Affinity Publisher Beta on Desktop
I am by no means an novice I used page layout programs from Page-maker days. Magazines, Catalogues, Annual Reports, booklets I have worked on many multi-page publications. While I understand what you're describing. I think you're over-reaching when you say it won't prevail in a professional environment. It depends on the individual's workflow, Affinity is not Adobe and vise-versa. Two things, 1. Are you trying to force your expectations on the product? 2. When you compare apples to oranges you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Adobe is $600 US per year Affinity products are $50.00 each some level of expectation management is required. -

kirknurse replied to Mensch Mesch's topic in Discussions and Suggestions for Affinity Publisher Beta on Desktop
As a professional, I can't necessarily agree that it is not production-ready. It depends on your workflow and if you are willing break out of your comfort zone. Many of the issues that the video complained about were non-issues as they were just presented differently than he was accustomed. When I first started using Affinity Products I sat down and went through the tools as I accepted that it was not going to replicate Adobe. I used InDesign from 1.0 and it had it flaws and quark "die-hards" had made many of the complaints that are being made about publisher. In my not so humble opinion, Once you accept that alternative does not mean the product does not match adobe feature-for-feature. -
How can I open Indesign (indd and idml) Files in Publisher?

It does a decent job of trapping but at the end of the day you're still at the mercy of the printing press -

How can I open Indesign (indd and idml) Files in Publisher?
kirknurse replied to Gabe Logan's topic in Discussions and Suggestions for Affinity Publisher Beta on Desktop
Just for the record, I have sent numerous files to print originally produced in Affinity Designer, no issues. As long as you know what you're doing it should be fine. -

Publisher does not recognize WORD .docx files!
kirknurse replied to Phil Martin's topic in Discussions and Suggestions for Affinity Publisher Beta on Desktop
I am a designer but I was fortunate to work with a few prepress houses back in the early days before direct-to-press. You had to do separations to film and then burn plates. Film was not cheap so you HAD to get it correct almost from the very beginning. -

kirknurse replied to Phil Martin's topic in Discussions and Suggestions for Affinity Publisher Beta on Desktop
I second that, It is a big pain in the behind. Set up your native style sheets (in this case apub) and then bring in plain text is the way I have always done it. It can even be a pre-press nightmare as when you're pre-flighting and it's looking for a nonexistent font.
