John Martineau Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi, we are UK book publishers looking at Affinity Publisher.Three questions: 1. It appears Affinity can import IDML files, but can it also export them? (we would need this feature to convert to Affinity, as, following international rights deals, 100% of overseas publishers request files as IDMLs) 2. Can Affinity import/export Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher files? (not so critical but it would make Affinity highly useful to us) 3. Is there a full IMPORT/EXPORT list somewhere? Many thanks for your time! John Martineau. WOODEN BOOKS LTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. 1. Import only. 2. Import only. 3. https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/publisher/full-feature-list/ has the list (spread across several sections, but "Professional Color, Compatibility, and Output" probably is the best for your question.

MikeW Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 IDML in/out. As far as I know, only VivaDesigner (commercial version) has idml in both directions. Text out of VivaDesigner. VD can export text only as .txt, QXP tagged text, and .xml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
