[By Design] Legacy Assets

[erayjay7]

Is there a way to import elements from PagePlus Assets into Affinity Publisher?

Hi @erayjay7,

Welcome to the forums. 

I'm afraid no. Any native PagePlus formats are not supported in Affinity. You could try to export as PDF from Pageplus and then import the PDF in publisher, but it's not 100% guarantee it will work. Sorry

Thanks,

Gabe.

Gabe, thanks for your timely response.  Does Affinity have any plans to add elements or templates to the application, such as were available in PagePlus?

I'm with erayjay7! Yesterday I wanted to quickly create an invoice and had to resort to PagePlus to do so, thanks to the lack of anything like that in Publisher. That seems to be a real oversight and adds to the sense of disenfranchisement that dedicated Serif users must feel when none of the internal formats are supported by the Affinity products!

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums  

Sorry that you are disappointed that we have not found an easy way to transition content from our legacy range.

I can understand. But after the purchase I was unpleasantly surprised - "Assets" has nothing. I assume that it will appear soon. Such things as ready-made templates and trinkets (eg symbols, icons) so that you do not have to do everything from zero.
Still lacking many options from PagePlus, the more you should not people do uphill. This is not writing code. Public presentations were with exemplary publications - you can give them as templates.
