KatLen Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I have some files created in old Serif programs. Is there any way to import them. Currently trying to open a file created in Serif PagePlus in Affinity Publisher. Edited March 23, 2021 by KatLen Quote
firstdefence Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Welcome to the forum @KatLen Short answer: No, not as Serif PagePlus (PPP) files. Longer answer: Try exporting the file to a PDF from PPP and then importing that PDF into Affinity Publisher.

I don't know what version I started with, the computer is gone and I think the install disk with it. I bought X5 ... won't open the files, so it must be a more recent version. Quote
firstdefence Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Maybe you could upload a file and someone could find out what version was used to make it?

Please post to the Legacy Product Forum on CommunityPlus if you wish to discuss this issue further. firstdefence 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
