  1. Je kunt het eens proberen met Viva Designer. Ook de (beperkte) gratis versie kan behalve idml ook indd openen. Exporteren als idml en dat bestand kun je openen in Publisher.
  2. Prediction: that will never happen. After the initial conversion, refuse to accept INDD files after that. Insist that your clients or colleagues provide IDML files instead.
  3. The reasons I wouldn't like this solution, when I can finally get rid of all the Adobe programs, are these: - Conversion of incoming files could happen multiple times, and each time one has to rent the software, and be very careful to stop the subscription before it is automatically renewed. And then go though the process of confirming that you don't want to renew. - You'll have to install Creative Cloud, and all its hidden spyware-like tasks running in the background. Ah, how I miss a way to directly open INDD and INDB files into Publisher! Paolo
  4. You could license InDesign for a short period of time, and use it to convert your INDD files to IDML files.
  5. IDML kan geopend worden in publisher. INDD kun je online converteren naar pdf via volgende sites. Dan kan je de pdf openen in publisher om verder te bewerken. https://docsconverter.net/indd-to-pdf https://2pdf.com/nl/convert-indd-to-pdf/ https://www.101convert.com/convert/indd-to-pdf
  6. Ik ben op zoek naar een converter die (GRATIS) INDD of IDML kan converteren naar Afifnity Publisher. Ik heb deze vraag nog al een keer eerder gesteld, maar toen is mij niet gewezen op een specifieke tool waarmee ik dit kan doen. Als ik zoek naar een converter om InDesign-bestanden om te zetten naar AFPUB-bestanden, dan kom ik in alle gevallen op betaalde software uit. Adobe InDesign heb ik niet meer en ik voel er weinig voor om nog een zogenaamde proefversie te downloaden. Wie helpt mij met de gouden tip! Heel veel dank.
  7. Er zijn verschillende gratis online converters voor INDD naar IDML en u kunt ook de proefversie van InDeisgn krijgen en uw boeken vervolgens tijdens de proefperiode omzetten naar IDML.
  8. Ik heb nog een aantal boeken geschreven in Word en opgemaakt in Adobe InDesign. Kan iemand mij ook zeggen of er een (gratis) conversie-programma bestaat waarmee ik mijn oude bestanden - met foto's - vanuit Adobe InDesign kan overzetten naar Affinity Publisher? Ik maak géén gebruik meer van Adobe InDesign. Dank u wel voor uw antwoord.
  9. Hi @Dezzallier welcome to the forum, great that you joined. As for your question. Publishers often ask to convert fonts to curves if they request files in graphics program formats such as Illustrator (.ai files) or Indesign (.indd files). Why are they doing this? Because the fonts used are not saved in these files, which may result in missing fonts and replacing them with other, basic ones. When sending a file in PDF format, there is no need to convert fonts to curves because all fonts can be embedded in this format, but many publishers ask you to convert them anyway. For this reason, it would be best if you asked the publisher you want to print from what their requirements are when it comes to preparing the file for printing to avoid misunderstandings and frustration on both sides. Personally, I send files for printing with fonts converted to curves because that's what my publisher wants. I hope this cleared up your doubts a bit. Regards.
  10. No that's not better at all. Why did you even chime in? This thread is literally about the same issue I am having. Did you even read the post? "So unhappy about this, but those file sizes make it impossible to use the Affinity suite for the amount of work I do - I also create a digital magazine, and the .AFPUB files are much much larger than my .INDD files."
  11. I wasn't referring to the PDF file size. I was referring to the Publisher file itself vs the Indesign INDD file.
  12. Are there any templates for creating a spread in Affinity Publisher? Or is it not difficult to create a front, back and back cover yourself? You see, there are quite a few printing companies that provide ready-made templates for Adobe InDesign, but not for Affinity Publisher. And is there any way to convert Adobe InDesign files to Affinity Publisher without costing me a lot of money? So: INDD files to AFPUB files. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bestaan er ook templates voor het maken van een spread in Affinity Publisher? Of is het niet moeilijk om zelf een voorkant, een rug en een achterkant te maken? Er zijn namelijk nogal wat drukkerijen die kant en klare templates leveren voor Adobe InDesign, maar niet voor Affinity Publisher. En is er ook een manier om Adobe InDesign-bestanden om te zetten naar Affinity Publisher zonder dat mij dit veel geld gaat kosten? Dus: INDD-bestanden naar AFPUB-bestanden.

  13. Introduction I started another similar post titled "Using Affinity Publisher, Designer, Photo V2.40 as a Swiss Army knife program", but in this post I ask the question differently, could other programs use this same file format? And would Canva ever allow that? Canva could develop these other programs also. The afpub file can handle text, vector, and raster and so could be used in all kinds of programs There would be a big advantage in the world if the afpub file format would become the document standard in the world. It is proprietary but other proprietary file formats have become very standard like .doc, cdr, and indd. Imagine if the afpub format replaced both the docx and pdf format. The afpub file is no bigger than the pdf but the file is completely editable. This means that the same file can be used for editing and viewing just like the docx format. But the afpub file handles text, vector, and raster formats much better than docx. Also the frame based desktop publishing format results in much easier complex formatting than the word processing format. If an IFilter was created so that on the fly thumbnails and previews were created in Windows Explorer or The Finder for Apple computers, this would allow fast viewing of multiple files and multiple file text searching would be possible. Why should afpub become the document standard in the world? The best file format is the one that could become the most popular. The afpub files are small in size. They handle text, vector, and raster formats very well. The files are very fast to load. The programs needed to open them are reasonably lightweight. Some people think that only open source and free to use file formats should become standards but it takes teams of many people to do this job properly and create a reliable relatively bug free program or file format. All kinds of programs would be possible with afpub file format Some people think that Affinity Publisher is too complicated for average office workers to master. Canva or other software companies could develop simpler "light" programs for text, vector, and raster creation that had the same file format but were less complicated. All kinds of plugins could also be created also. Note taking programs similar to Obsidian could be created using the afpub format that would handle text, vector, and raster formats in one file, so no links or attachments would be needed, every note would be a single file. Everything done in a normal office would use afpub, notes, letters, reports, user manuals, papers, and books could be done in the format. Why do I care? I'm a futurist partly and like to both predict and promote things that makes sense for people to do in the world. Plus many other people are asking the same question, because they don't want to learn a program or create files if clients aren't going to want that. Popularity breeds more popularity. Presently we have Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop that are standards in the world. Microsoft Word handles anything more complicated that plain text paragraphs poorly. Adobe Acrobat has line returns in text and so can't be used as the editing file format. Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, Photo files are far bigger in size than is necessary. The world would be a more efficient and productive place if the afpub file format replaced all these. The more people that use the afpub file format, the more likely that extras would be created and the more likely that this file format would become more popular and the more likely this file format would be around for many years to come. P.S. I did buy the Affinity Suite about 3 weeks ago and already recommended it to my brother who is working on another book, and to two people at a funeral I was at yesterday, one who is also writing a book, and another who has just started a graphic design business.
  14. Add top, right, left, or bottom stroke options including weight in pts. Add corner radius options. Add default line types for the strokes and ideally mirror INDD defaults.
  15. Sure, please find attached single-blank-page-IDML-from-InDesign.idml single-blank-page.indd single-blank-page-IDML-from-LegUpTools.idml single-blank-page.pdf
  16. Dear, I read several articles on this type of conversion request and it seems that either we have to use Viva Designer or find a nice person who still have an operational InDesign installation to make the conversion for you. Is there any other possibilities because I have an old magazine to convert to IDML of 330MB... Thanks in advance
  17. Hello, Serif team I am a recent member of the Affinity family, but I feel like it's just that. There's a lot of negativity surrounding this new deal, and I wanted to make sure you also get encouragement. I think the pledges are great. If you stay true to them, keep Affinity standalone and professional, and integrate it with Canva in the future in order to allow professional designers create templates in Affinity for marketers to use in Canva, this will be a groundbreaking workflow for the world of design. There isn't a single piece of software out there that solves the problem of professionals who enjoy non-destructive, complex softwares such as Affinity collaborating with marketers who enjoy the simplicity of something like Canva templates. I hope the entire team is as excited as I am for the future of Affinity. Keep Affinity professional, Canva for the beginners or non-designers, and you'll have yourselves the best design suite on the market. This is a web agency owner's (extremely passionate about Studio Link and your design suite) wishlist of features to come from the new Canva resources: Blend tool functionality Real vector brushes, not rasters on vector paths Real vector patterns, not rasters repeating on vector shapes Variable font support Smart object import functionality in Affinity Publisher Canva, please pay for additional developers to handle bug fixing, there are some persistent bug threads here that haven't been solved in 3-4 years Better transfer of Adobe format documents (I know, I know, it's closed-source format and the idea is to bring people over FROM Adobe, but sadly we still live in a world dominated by .ai .psd and .indd) for example the constant non 0 font tracking makes importing large document a real pain Export persona for all Affinity apps (I shouldn't have to open designer to export a batch of 10-20 logos I've been working on in Publisher) Generally way more Studio Link integration. Having a suite is great, but what you've developed in Studio Link is something special. Maybe Develop, Liquify, Export should become Modules rather than standalone personas in other apps. So that people would be able to add modules to their unified app (currently Publisher) just as we would add panels right now. Even if it requires a restart of the app, people would be able to make their one design app as slim or all-encompassing as they want. Some sort of image tracing capability Point-based gradients/Gradient meshes Some sort of vector filters suite (roughen, smoothen curve, distort, background distort, etc.) This is a list I'd been keeping for the past months, working on small business and big corporate website and design projects alike, using exclusively your suite for professional designs. Let's make this thread a place for positivity and genuine recommendations for the future of our favourite design suite. The serif team seem to be very excited and eager to bring the best design tools out there into existence for us. So let's make it happen together. Tudor.
  18. The worst thing The worst thing is that with subscription models you can be locked out of your own creations – even for political reasons #AdobeVenezuela. It's extortion. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/7/20904030/adobe-venezuela-photoshop-behance-us-sanctions And once you've subscribed, it's even harder to switch to another software company because you have to be subscribed to open old documents. So never, never, never subscribe if file formats from other software companies can't be fully read like .indd .afdesign .afphoto .afpub! I stayed on Adobe CS6 for years for this reason and I will never subscribe if there is even the slightest suspicion that I could be locked out of my own work, even if I have unsubscribed.
  19. We do typically ask for questions not relating to the Affinity apps to be posted elsewhere online - however this topic is at the very least tangentially related to Affinity, as we can only import .IDML files - and therefore many InDesign users search the Affinity Forums for a reliable conversion method between .INDD and .IDML. I personally do not have any issue with users sharing their methods for conversion here, provided the reason for a user asking this is to convert their files to be opened within Affinity. As I have had to reiterate in multiple threads recently, it is not the job of our users to decide who can and can't post on the Affinity Forums, or to tell users not to ask questions here - so please do not do this. This is solely for the Affinity Forum moderation team to decide, and certain discretions may be made by the moderation team. We appreciate all our users participation here on the Affinity Forum - however this thread is not regarding PDF conversion and therefore it is a reasonable to point this out, as loukash has done above. This does not mean you are not welcome to suggest PDF as a potential alternative to IDML or conversion from INDD. I have however edited the above post slightly to align this more with our expectations. I'd recommend using the 'Ignore' function provided by the Forums, should you not wish to interact with certain members here. ____ We believe the forums can be a friendly and helpful place for Affinity users and we ask you all to play your part in keeping it this way. Thanks for your understanding.
  20. What are you talking about here? The point of this thread was how to convert INDD files to IDML so that they can be natively edited in Publisher. Since the initial free offer for the IDMarkz converter has expired in the meantime, discussing other solutions is just as valid. (Albeit admittedly slight off topic in this context nonetheless. But meh.) So… those of us who still have access to InDesign will – of course! – want to use this native conversion method in the first place. [Mod edit] ~~~ Speaking of IDMarkz, I actually just installed the free viewer (something I forgot to do after buying my new MacBook last year), and it works pretty well as such. Many thanks for that, Markzware!
  21. PDF is not the subject of this thread. IDML is. ~~~ For the record, this script works smoothly in InDesign CS5.5: creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/batch_convert.html I have just batch converted a whole client folder from INDD to IDML within a few seconds. They all open in APu 2 just fine, albeit – as expected – with minor typography glitches likely caused by my usage of certain advanced Adobe features not directly translatable by the Affinity typography engine.
  22. PDF is not being asked for here. @Henri H has obviously Adobe CC installed at the moment, and they want to batch convert INDD to IDML natively.
  23. open your favorite search engine page in your favorite browser type "script to convert indd to idml" browse the results
  24. Converting all your indd files is possible. You only have to do it. It's really that simple.™ Since ID is scriptable, you can automate it. I'm pretty sure someone somewhere on Teh World Wide interWebs® has already written such scripts. (For the record, this is something I actually plan to do as well. Until now I've been only sporadically converting INDD files to IDML when I happened to stumble upon something that I had to look up using ID CS5 anyway. Same for converting my even older PageMaker, XPress and Freehand docs. My archives go as far back as the early 1990s…)
  25. 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.
