Chris Gould Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I have always used Page Plus for my projects - but wanted to see how the new program handles things. Am I safe to do this, or will I be locked out of the beta at some point and not be able to use the file? Incidentally, I will be getting the full program when it is released.

coso Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Compatibility between the beta and the final release is not guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 The best advice for that probably comes from AdamW's statements in the topics that link to the download files for Publisher: Quote As this is a beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. There is no guarantee that documents saved now will be usable in later betas or the final version, though I expect that Serif will try to preserve compatibility.

Chris Gould Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 OK cheers - I will stick with Page Plus - added advantage; no learning curve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris111 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I am a Page Plus user and been experimenting with Affinity Publisher. Love it, I got two publications ready for press in January, when is Publisher going to be officially released. I could push out the publication date if Affinity Publisher will be released soon.

I don’t think it’s safe to assume that Affinity Publisher will be released to retail before the end of January.

Chris111 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 What is a good estimated date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The only good estimated date for the official Publisher release would be one from Serif, and they have not provided one that I have seen. It will be when they have finished the work they want to do for the initial release, and have fixed the bugs they believe are critical. Whether that will be in the 1st quarter of 2019, or the 1st half, or later, would be only a guess at this point.
