AdobeSmells Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Is this possible? Apologies if in the wrong place - only option the dropdown would give me. Quote
Staff Callum Posted November 10, 2022 Staff Posted November 10, 2022 Hi AdobeSmells, Welcome to the forum Currently its only possible to open IDML files not INDD I'm afraid. Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
Old Bruce Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 No, not INDD files. IDML files will open, but there are some things that InDesign does that don't transfer over 100%. Other things are 'different'. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
AdobeSmells Posted November 10, 2022 Author Posted November 10, 2022 Thanks. Just needed clarification. Adobe smells... Quote

Did you find any smart and lasting solutions here, except getting sucked back in to the creative cloud? Quote

You could get a short subscription to InDesign and convert your INDD files to IDML. That's probably your least expensive approach. It's extremely unlikely that INDD files will ever be handled directly in Publisher.

Yes it would, but as mentioned here, Adobe considers it to be a proprietary file format so they are unlikely to allow Serif (or anybody else) to make it 100% compatible with third party apps. As they say in that article Quote You can open INDDs with some third-party programs — however, the file won’t be fully compatible and making edits may be a challenge.
