fjsbr894 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hey there, I am currently having an issue importing IDML files into Affinity Publisher that is bugging me a lot. I have been working on a document for quite some time now in InDesign and want to continue work in Publisher. So, I exported the file as IDML and imported it into the Affinity software. My problem is that all font sizes are wrong now. E.g. a text with 11 pt font size which fitted perfectly into its frame in Design will now not fit into the frame at all since the font size is way too big. Am I overseeing a conversion step or something? I would be thankful if you guys could help me out here Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCEANDD Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I've been having the same problem—fonts in imported IDML files suddenly and randomly shrinking from 11 points to 2.6 points or enlarging to 48 points when I make text changes or move graphics around. What is causing this, and how do I get it to stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try to repair this with a) Use Reset Formatting having text or text frame selected (you find this top right on the Text Styles panel) or b) copy all the text into newly created text frames.

awalla Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I was stuck with this same issue and couldn't find any answers through forms or videos that explained why it was happening. Finally I went under File > Document Setup and saw my DPI was set at 600! Once I moved it back down to 72 DPI my text point converted correctly! Hope this works for you too!
