Antidote Integration

[Mirko1978 3]

Hi,

 

First of all kudos for Affinity Publisher. For a first Beta, it's absolutely impressive.

One feature that I really need in order to consider replacing Quark and InDesign with Affinity Publisher is the integration with Antidote (https://www.antidote.info) – and I'm pretty sure that many users who work regularly with french text will agree.

Is anything planned?

 

Thx

I totally agree with this. I work daily with Antidote.

Agree 1000%!

I just stumbled onto this thread, and I am happy to see fellow Antidote users in this forum. I suspect we are a rather small minority, so I never even bothered mentioning it as a feature request. Although I don’t feel right claiming this is a “must have” feature, for my own work, I don’t know what I would do without it.

I think the impetus for integration rests more with Druide than it does with Serif (although it would surely require Serif’s cooperation). On the Antidote website, they do invite this kind of feedback:

If you would like us to integrate Antidote with other software, please contact us.

They may not be interested in integrating with a beta, but once Affinity Publisher goes public, I do intend to contact them. Here’s the link for anyone interested:

Hi dear Publishers!

Any news regarding Antidote integration? Since Affinity Publisher went public, I beleive Antidote to be a must-have, since it would benefit both English and French publishers!

Let's face it: who can publish a book without this kind of integration? That's why I'm reviving this post.

I contacted the Druite/Antidote team, and they suggest contacting the Affinity Team first. A first step made the Affinity team seems to be a prerequisite to start the Antidote integration!

Let's keep this request alive, so that hope remains!

Cheers!

In fact Druide has reached out to Serif, and Druide does seem eager to make compatibility a reality. For example:

In that thread, they were invited to continue discussions via email, but we do note that TonyB ("Top Cat") said:
