Razorpig - I had exactly the same sort of reply from Fontbase two days ago. Affinity either doesn't seem to read their emails or have the courtesy to reply to the makers of a very good font management app.

Hi. Is there anyway that Fontbase (or any font management app) can be added to the Affinity suite as a plugin? I'm running the latest Affinity 1.9.3 updates.

I agree with the above comments. A lie flat publication is much more practical when working your way through the exercises. I like the idea of ring bound as suggested.

What is missing from this discussion is that besides having hundreds of native InDesign files (way too many to convert to PDF files and yes the import of PDF is great!) there are times when I want to send an InDesign file to a client or another graphic designer. I cannot reasonably expect them to own Affinity Publisher. If I cannot import native INDD files or export to INDD then my use for Publisher is diminished, regardless of how fantastic it is. InDesign is an industry standard and if Publishers wishes to match or surpass it then indd compatibility is a must.

I don’t think that’s a reasonable assumption to make about the first release. INDD import seems unlikely, at least in the early years, and even IDML import will probably be quite a long way off.
One of the key factors in my changing from the Adobe Creative Suite to Publisher will be its ability to import native InDesign files. I see the beta can open PDF files saved from InDesign. That at least is a half-way solution. Like many I have hundreds of InDesign files that I will want to access if I make the switch.

Like everyone, the release is eagerly awaited. I'd like to quit my subscription to the Adobe Creative Suite but have to wait for the third part of the trifecta - Publisher. I am presuming that it will be able to import InDesign files?

Its the end of 2017 and still no DXF/DWG import/export support in Designer. Another reason I tend to open Illustrator first!

When - finally - Publisher is in beta format will there be a chance to be part of the testing team?

What update is there on the Affinity Publisher beta? The years are rolling by ...
Affinity Designer file compatibility between V1 and V2
in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

I loaded a V1 file I am working on for a client. All went well until I tried to save as a prepress PDF. Time after time it came up with an error message that it cannot save to PDF. I converted images from psd to png but with the same end result. I tried the 72dpi smallest pdf file size and same result.
Is this a translation problem from V1 to V2?
I have also noticed that images drop off the page for no reason and disappear from the layers menu, meaning I have to re-open the file!
I am concerned that this has been a rushed version, released to meet the Black Friday market.
Until the PDF and image dropping issue is fixed I will rebuild the panel in Indesign, where I know there is no problem exporting to prepress PDF regardless of file size.
