Can you give me a link for automated solution ? Thank you.

I really don't understand Affinity in this matter..... When InDesign was released, Adobe ensured that users of QuarkXpress (the market leader at the time) could switch seamlessly. After all, InDesign could simply open QuarkXpress files. It is therefore a mystery to me that Affinity does not pay attention to this. ---------- I have been using Adobe software (InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop) for more than 25 years. I currently have a Creative Cloud All Apps agreement. This means that I have literally thousands of files on my computer. For InDesign these are all stored in the "indd" format. So not idml..... Converting all my files to "idml" is impossible. I think many people are in my situation. ---------- Using software from a third party (MarkZware) is not the right solution. Affinity should address the solution by themself.

When to expect the possibility to open InDesign files ?

Publisher will only be a match for InDesign if it can open the files. By the introduction of InDesign Adobe knew it has te be able to open Quark Express and Pagemaker files. When this will not be possible it is dead before birth. Publisher works nice and fast, good work. Now compatibly and i will purchase it.

I have several thousands Indesign layouts on my Mac. As long as OSX support my Creative Suite 6 converting to pdf could be a option. But i am afraid that the OS after Mojave will no longer support my Creative Suite 6. At that time i will no longer be able to convert my InDesign files to pdf.

I have downloaded the Beta version of Publisher. I found out that it is not possible to open or import InDesign files. I hope this will be possible with the final version. Years ago i have worked with Adobe Pagemaker and made the transition to Indesign. In InDesign was ik possible to open "Pagemaker" and "Quark Express" files. That was a smooth and easy transition. When Publisher will not be able to open or import InDesign files i can not open all my files that i have made over more than 10 years. That would be a huge obstacle. So ...........
