Affinity Publisher/Adobe InDesign - IngramSpark/PDF for print. POD Books.

[Roy Thomas Dow]

Hello 🙃, I have been using InDesign for interior and cover pdf production (as an indie publisher author with IngramSpark). Has anyone successfully uploaded POD/Print ready PDF files for interior and cover using affinity publishing and ingramSpark?

I ask, because they send out things like indesign cover templates for your book. Can I open and use this file type in Affinity please?

Would love to ditch adobe/apple and word/pages. I feel the perfect combo looming, is Scrivener, Affinity Publisher and some simple pc, a 2 in 1? I have never used Affinity to be honest, but am hopeful.

All help appreciated 👍

Welcome to the forums @Roy Thomas Dow

Did you try searching these forums for ingramspark and looking through the information, instructions and recommendations in the threads which already exist?

I must admit I haven't. With time, so many Q's would have been answered, I was hoping it was something known/experienced to be honest.

From what I remember glancing at in the many posts about the subject, there seems to be almost as many answers as there are people asking about it.
As with a lot of things, we need to find the correct solution for our specific needs and that generally means doing some reading and experimentation.

The answer you need is probably out there somewhere in one of the existing threads.
