David Chagford Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Microsoft Publisher is not available for Apple devices. I have several old files that were created on a Windows computer using Microsoft Publisher. I am unaware of any software to do this on an Apple Mac. Grateful if you could add this feature to Affinity Publisher. Quote
emmrecs01 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums. I strongly suspect that at least part of the MS Publisher file format is proprietary to MS and hence not made available to other software companies. If so, Serif cannot write an Importer without some degree of (illegal) reverse engineering of the MS format. Hence, I think it is highly unlikely to happen. I believe the only method of importing such files to APublisher is if they are exported from MS Publisher as pdfs. Jeff Quote Win 11 Pro, intel i7 14700, NVidia GTX 4060, 32G RAM, intel UHD 770. Long-time user of Serif products, chiefly PagePlus and PhotoPlus, but also WebPlus, CraftArtistProfessional and DrawPlus. Delighted to be using Affinity Designer, Photo, and now Publisher, version 1 and now version 2. iPad Pro (12.9") (iOS 18.2) running Affinity Photo and Designer version 1 and all three version 2 apps.
