Designer1 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 IDML Import is a good thing. However, large publishing houses work only with InDesign and require .innd files. It would be great if one could export .innd from Publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The INDD file format is a proprietary Adobe format. As such, it’s a closely guarded secret and it’s therefore unlikely that the Affinity apps will be able to export to INDD any time soon.

Joachim_L Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Who knows. Serif has no public roadmap and it is not transparent which of all the feature requests will become a function in future versions. Personally I think IDML export will not come too soon - if ever. Saving as IDML would mean another wide field of bug hunting / corrections to be done.

Hi, If people ask you for inDesign files, try to give them real ID files. I explained in the last pages of this thread why a file not made with ID would be problematic (without being exhaustive) and why it could compromise your colaboration with people working with ID and needing ID files. If there's one day export to IDML, first thing to do is check if the provided file is "good enough", or use ID when asked for ID files.

You should give them only PDF file(s). Source files are your property and may not be distributed to anyone. If the customer insists on source files you can ask for them at least 5x more than you were paid for the PDF.
