Rossjackson01 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Not sure if I am in the right forum. I have used Serif programmes since 1985 and upgraded continuously until retirement and used the programmes for pleasure. I notice that affinity is now due to offer a 'publisher'. Will this be backwardly compatible with the Serif legacy Pagemaker Plus? Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi Rossjackson01, Welcome to Affinity Forums No, Affinity Publisher will not support native PagePlus files. You will have to export the projects as PDF and import them into Affinity Publisher (with some losses).

REC55 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Like Rossjackson01, I too have lots of drawing done with the legacy Serif program, DrawPlus with the ".dpp" format. Is there any plans to ever incorporate the ability to import the legacy format? I have some objects that I have created which I would love to keep and reuse. It will also keep me from having to start over on some of the items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi REC55, Welcome to Affinity Forums There's no plans to support any of the legacy formats from the old Plus line. The Affinity luite is being created from scratch and since there's no feature parity between the corresponding apps from the old/new line some things can't be translated directly from one app to the other without some loss which is basically what happens when you export to PDF first from DrawPlus (or other app from the Plus line) and then import it in Affinity Designer (same applies to the rest of the apps of the Affinity line).
