I agree it's great software.
I feel a little confused by some of the responses on this thread to be honest (Not so much yours, but others were pretty hostile). 
This section of the forum is for product suggestions.
I had a suggestion which I thought was valid - and so too did @affinitybyserif on Twitter - and they actually suggested I post this here because it wasn't currently a feature of Affinity Photo.
But for some reason, post replies just seems very defensive about anything new - but surely this is a forum to share and suggest ideas?
Just tying to help make a great bit of software better - that can only happen by constructive discussion. 

Not true. If the image inserted into indesign (for example) was actual scaled down to 50% and cropped in the PDF, the original sized image would still be available, so I can get a higher resolution original form the PDF in Photoshop

I am SOO ready to bin Adobe - I hate their business model, and their ridiculous pricing.
But, I have 10+ years worth of archived indesign files. 
I assume at some point in the future someone will either create a plugin, or you will natively be able to import indd docs?
I would switch in a heartbeat if this was possible, but at the moment, i have to keep indesign purely because i cannot re-create everything on my work archive.
 
Loving your work.

Ah I see - no problem.

Probably because it doesn’t have anything to do with the question. But in answer to your question - Yes I have permission. These are files that clients supply of their brochure etc - but they can’t find the original files. 

Yes, this feature will be added. Thanks for the feedback.
 

I can't give any timelines for this (IDML import, not INDD). It's being worked and will be in an update when it is considered working and relatively stable. But I would be talking more than a few weeks in not months, It's not a simple thing to just implement
