missedbeat Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 A user on Twitter reporting Importing of InDesign files in Beta working well and achieved by simply selecting Open and then selecting an .indd file. I am unable to import as all .indd files are greyed out in the Open finder on Mac. I am using latest version of Beta. Has anyone else had this issue and, more importantly, how was it resolved!?

mac_heibu Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 *.indd files don’t work and won’t work in the future. You have to export your InDesign files using the IDML format. Jon P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missedbeat Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Thank you, got excited when a user was complimenting Affinity on being able to import InDesign files! Guess will have to keep that Adobe subscription going for a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 … but IDML files ARE InDesign files! Pšenda and nicolasfolliot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missedbeat Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Agreed, its just that several years worth of files are saved as .indd and will need to re-save as IDML before I can stop the Adobe account!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to get a hold of the script to batch convert many INDD files to IDML https://redokun.com/resources/batch-convert-idml-file nicolasfolliot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Idml import is a feature of the 1.8 beta version.
