Getting dpp files to convert to designer


Recommended Posts

Hi

I upgraded last year to Affinity Designer from previously using an older version of Serif Draw Plus Starter Edition.  I am wanting to access a file made in it so I can edit using Affinity Designer.  Please help.  I want to be able to export it as a pdf but it wont as the odl software needs an upgrade but the only upgrade is Affinity Designer, which I have done.

Hi DeeGee,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Affinity Designer doesn't support .dpp files. The only way is to export the file from DrawPlus as a PDF and import it into Designer. If the DrawPlus Starter Edition doesn't support/export as PDF (or SVG which may also work for a few things) there's isn't much you can do other than maybe upgrading to DrawPlus X8 (which is now a legacy product) or asking someone to make the export for you if it's only a single document (i don't have DrawPlus here otherwise i would do it for you). Affinity Designer is not a replacement nor a direct upgrade to the old DrawPlus software. It's a new cross-platform software (for Mac, iOS and Windows) created from scratch to take advantage of the latest technologies/API's available in the latest operative systems.
