Papertigerprinting got a reaction from SashaUK in Open PagePlus (*.ppp) files
So how much time and investment would it take to give PPX9 the baseline grid and widow / orphan tab and do an update to PPXX. Take advanced orders at say £100 a pop and pre-fund it Kickstarter style. If not enough take up from us PP users then we don't deserve an update!
Sell a slightly poorer version (no pdf forms omg) to Mac users and spend a little time and money on the people who have kept you business afloat for the past 20 years! If you do not have any loyalty to us then at least make it open source.

I am sure there will be many, especially Mac users, who will be delighted in the product once it has gone through Beta but criticism is not negative if the developers take note of the comments. To take the attitude 'stuff you PP users' rather than take on board criticism is not good CR.
AP works on Mac but PP doen't so sacrifice PP and all it's user base to the great god Mac! One of the main reasons I am a PP user is that i have Windows PC's and i do not need to pay for Adobe bloatware.
Yes PPX9 was the culmination of many years of development but bear in mind that people are more demanding now then they were 15 - 20 years ago and expect a professional product from day 1.

InDy and QX are dinosaurs of the publishing industry and are so up themselves I do not expect them to be able to deal with PP files but I do not expect a company that I and many others have given income to over the years to say scrap all you have done as we have a new bone you Pavlovian dogs will slaver over. We might be a small minority who have had the business acumen to not give a bloatware seller more money than the average PC but I would have thought it would be enough to keep a separate windows version of Affinity Publisher (rebranded from PagePlus of course) up to date. In the end it is Serif's call meanwhile i shall be keeping my money in my pocket as long as possible and i think i will not be the only one.
