Import InDesign file into Affinity Publisher


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am new to Publisher, have worked with InDesign for years. How I import my old InDesign projects into Publisher. Also, I prepare text in Mac Pages but I have difficulties to copy and paste the text from Pages to Publisher. Any help? Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forums, @Utebue

You can open only .idml files from InDesign. I have no experience with Mac Pages. What are the difficulties?

I copy text in Pages, paste into Publisher and it places it as a graphic, not text.

Do you still have InDesign?

If so, Open the document there, export it as an IDML file, and Open the IDML file in Publisher.

No I don’t. Adobe has only updated its cloud version to the new MacOs. Is there a converter somewhere? 

Sorry for the delay. I hear good things about https://markzware.com/products/idmarkz/
