Staff MEB Posted January 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi 243750496, Welcome to Affinity Forums As far as I'm aware it's unlikely we will add support for Microsoft Publisher files, sorry.

spamjim Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Publisher moved from spot inks and CMYK, as of the 2013 release. It is limited to RGB garbage. GIGO! Even if a conversion to Affinity Publisher was offered, you'd need to correct all the linked/embedded assets and color. If you have legacy MS Publisher documents, it is best to maintain a pre-2013 installation or start from scratch with a program like Affinity Publisher.

Microsoft Publisher is more or less a toy. Rich313 1 Quote Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

I'm not a professional page layout person (Affinity Publisher itself is not really for me, but a useful tool to have in my bag). I work in a mixed Windows-Mac environment, and MS Publisher files are rampant. I'm dying for a Mac app to be able to handle them natively. I'd buy a $10 MAS app that simply converts them to Pages files reliably. Just wanted to throw my voice in to the 'feature request' world. Would love for Affinity Publisher to be the app that solves this problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
