Affinity Publisher document edited in iPad Pro with Affinity Photo

[risingstar_canadian]

I am wondering about how to send Affinity Publisher document after "soft editing" with Affinity Photo app on iPad Pro.

For some reason, I am not able to save it as Affinity Publisher document from iPad Pro.

I am wondering if there is a temporary workaround with this workflow.  I understand that there would be an eventual standalone Affinity Publisher app for iPad Pro. This definitely will blow our socks off.

I just learned about this little known trick by watching Affinity Live presentation tonight.  I didnt know about this until now. I was testing this document on Mac Pro with Affinity Publisher app.  By the way, magnificent app! Hands off to Affinity team!  Bravo, well done.

 

I am more than giving you guys and team some perspective and feedback going forward.  I am heavy user with Adobe InDesign app for years. I must admit that I am annoyed with subscription thing.

 

Enuf said and super excited,

All the way from Canada,

Brian

Shouldn’t matter what you save as. The files .afphoto/.afdesign/.afpub are all exactly the same format and should open in either app (According to Live presentation).  if for some reason Publisher has problems with it being .afphoto, just rename it to .afpub.

Canada - what a beautiful place. We had the good fortune to tour for 3 weeks and loved it all. Almost as good as Aus.

@DM1, I will take a look at this by rename it and see what happens next.  I like to be a bit more organize to place files under folder called Assets for Affinity in iCloud.  I am still not sure how to place "soft edited" changes in original Affinity Publisher document with Mac.  Once I understand the efficiency workflow between Macs and iPad Pro through iCloud.  Once I get the hang of it.

I will start an important project coming up. I am willing to work with ONLY Affinity Publisher on Mac.  I usually take iPad Pro with me around everyday. i haven't use laptop for about a year. But I still use Mac Pro at my residence and use iPad Pro with me everyday.  Once I get more hands dirty under hood of iPad Pro and Mac Pro, I am not willing to look at buying new MacBook Pro nor continue subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud.  Once Affinity eventually release officially Affinity Publisher app for iPad, then I am super excited about saving more money eventually.

Thank you for kindness compliments about Canada, I am also very fond of AUS as well as New Zealand.

@Affinity, thank you for putting in closed captioned feature utilized in Affinity Live and I am more pleased seeing that all of closed captioned are captioned in Tutorial.  Believe me, I spent years giving other company, decline to mention or don't want to make it so obvious or precise, but it gets anywhere to get the feedback and perspective being heard related to accessibility whereas it benefits global community to learn second language -- for those who speak native languages other than English.  Closed Captioned is meant to accommodate this as educational tool.  It takes years to shape this going since 1970s to now.  Affinity, a big thank you for including closed captioned feature in all of tutorial videos, whereas it has been very helpful.

Living in gratitude.

I found this as a solution.  When in Affinity Photo 1.7.1 in iPad Pro, when I am done with this file.  When I want to save this file, save it as what @DM1 had suggested.

To do this: pull it down from Document in Affinity Photo selected from Save a Copy.

Select wherever you want to save it to: in this case, I select iCloud.

I notice a little hiccup here. For some reason Affinity Photo "force' to place .afphoto after .afpub extension.  All you have to remove .afphoto file extension inside iCloud Drive or File.

By the way, I operate iPad Pro with iPadOS 13 beta -- I know I take significant risk. But it is worth the risk.
