Last Chance Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Could you export the IDML text into Word? APub does accept the import of Word footnotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrober Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 It's true, but direct import from IDML lets me transfer the design already done in ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Chance Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 @Pedrober I did mean to just export the text - keep the IDML file to import the design into APub, but extract the text (if it's possible) to Word, and then import the text back into your APub design. It all really hinges on whether the text can be extracted with footnotes successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Wallace Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 That sounds like a lot of work to accomplish what Affinity Publisher should be able to do natively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that bad in Affinity 2. Footnotes are created where you want them to appear, with the style you want them to have. So far, I haven't been forced to use a layout I didn't like. My use for footnotes and endnotes is limited, so there are edges of the envelope I'm sure I haven't seen. Regarding the Macy's versus Gimbel's debate over importing footnotes from Adobe, I can see that would be nice. It also makes m want to ask if Adobe imports Affinity footnotes transparently. If not importing Adobe footnotes without fussing is a shortcoming of Affinity, seems like we should criticize Adobe if it doesn't transparently import Affinity footnotes. What the heck, let's criticize Adobe on general principles. 🙂 At least while we can. Affinity and evolution may have select Adobe for the fossil record.

Amontillado Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Actually, I just realized something. If a frame doesn't have a customized footnote position, you can set document wide or per-frame footnote positions while the frame is selected. It's only if the frame has a different footnote position from document wide that you have to move the focus off the frame to set document-wide footnote positioning. I can see the logic in that. If you have a frame with footnote positioning you like, changing the document-wide default shouldn't blow away the frame's options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWHM Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just received an email with the following tutorial which may be handy. No time to deal with it myself now, but if others have missed it... https://affinityspotlight.com/article/take-control-of-footnotes-sidenotes-and-endnotes-in-affinity-publisher-2/?utm_source=SpotlightEmail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SpotlightNewsletter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
