Hokusai Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Innommables, Welcome to the forums! While I would love to be able to open Indesign and Xpress files, I think it is very unlikely that this will be offered. While you might not be able to import them directly, you should be able to import them as PDF files which will allow you to move old documents over to Affinity Publisher. It is talked about in greater detail here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/572-affinity-publisher-file-import-from-page-plus-please/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/8586-affinity-publisher-feature-requests/?hl=import+indesign&p=37641 I hope this helps, Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokusai Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Innommables, Sorry, I have no idea about XML TEI export? That is a question that only one of the developers can answer. Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seneca Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I would love to see the Affinity developers getting involved in the development of Open Source libraries that can import inDesign and Adobe PageMaker files. I'm sure that the developers of Scribus would welcome that. Scribus for those who don't know is an open source project that tries to compete with inDesign as a publishing platform. They already have a rudimentary support of opening inDesign and PageMaker files and a slew of other formats as well. Nothing is stopping the Affinity developers to use these libraries and in the process improving them. That would not only benefit the Scribus fanbase but also Affinity Publisher users. To be able to open inDesign documents natively, however imperfectly, is immensely better that opening PDF documents alone.

Stephen_H Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 +1 for opening InDesign files. An essential feature if we are to move away from Adobe completely. I can't keep a CC account alive just open last year's annual report or to read files supplied from another company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
