open an affinity designer file create with a higher version


Recommended Posts

hello I post this message to try to find a solution to my problem I apologize if this subject has already been treated in another topic
I cannot open an affinity desinger file if it was created with a higher version, my university does not update the software for technical reasons and I cannot open my files from these versions.
is there an option in the software to maximize the compatibility? If not, is there any software to edit or delete the version of the version on the file? If not, is there documentation on the .afdesign files in order to manually modify the file with an exadecimal editor like notpad ++?
thank you for your help

Sorry, there is no way to open a newer version in an older version.  If the newer version has a change in file structure which is the case if the affinity product won't let it be done.  What you could maybe do is export the new version in a file format like EPS, SVG or PDF though some work will have to be done to rename layers and such in the new version.
