Marco Italy Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 As opening Illustrator-format files is not something possible, the only way to open old illustrator (single page or multiple page) file is to export within illustrator to a PDF. Although in Affinity Designer is possible to import those PDF SINGLE pages, at the moment is not yet possible to import multi-pages PDF files and create automatically an Affinity multipage layout from it . This is a huge lack that I hope developers will include in Affinity very soon. I want to switch all my employees to Affinity Designer, but this feature is stopping us. Hope you developers can solve soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderings Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Not against this, but I am curious what task you are trying to perform? Are you doing page layout in Designer rather than Publisher? Publisher you can bring in multi page PDF's as that is what the software is meant to do. Just can't think why I would ever really need multi page import in Illustrator (it does have it). I do my vector work, save my logo or file I am working on and then put it together in Indesign. The idea of doing multi pay setups in Designer gives me a headache just thinking about it!

Komatös Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi, @Marco Italyand welcome to the forums. Affinity Designer is very capable of opening multi-page PDFs. The pages are created in Designer as separate artboards. I don't know the export options for Illustrator, but maybe there is an option to create a multi-page PDF.
