benuk90 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I have just become a user of Affinity Publisher due to not wanting to pay out a monthly subscription for Adobe CC. However I have already run into issues when handing off a design to the client who wanted to do some minor updates with InDesign. I love that with the IMDL format, the file can be opened using Publisher, but there is no way to do the opposite that I have seen/researched into. The only way to get my file to the client is via a final flat file in PDF> THIS IS A MUST FEATURE THAT WOULD BE SUPER HELPFUL!!!!!

IDML when used with apps other than InDesign is a way to provide a rough conversion, but since every app is different in the features it has or lacks, how it implements the features it does have, or even the differing nature text layout engine itself, it is not intended as a faithful interchange format, and if used as such, it will disappoint. If there were an IDML export option, you couldn’t expect to hand it off for just “minor updates with InDesign.” The file your client would receive would not look like the file you exported.
