DogHouseGraphics Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I used Adobe products for years but recently made the transition to Affinity software. My question is this; Is it possible to import/convert InDesign (indd) documents into Affinity Publisher? Any advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

I have happily made the transition with several very long books. Some checking is needed. Perhaps the one thing that requires checking more than any other is to be sure that tracking values are the same. Those set in InDesign do not always come out the same in Publisher. Easily fixed, but it will require some rather careful review. Also, InDesign has picture frames with linked images, which carry over with the IDML files. You will need to use WINDOW>Resource Manager to either relink or embed those images. Easily done.
