Going from publisher to indesign7/13/2023 So you really have 1 option if you do not want to use Indesign, you need need to supply print ready PDF's. You will never have a perfect conversion. At the end of the day they are 2 page layout programs made by 2 different companies. ![]() Sure they may be able to improve things but it will never be 100% compatibility between the two. Regarding Serif addressing Indesign and their file I don't think this is not something they really can do beyond what they have now with IDML files. Cutting out a middle step that is really not needed. A properly made PDF with crops and bleeds gets things moving much faster then opening a working file and preparing a PDF after that for print. Personally I only want working files if I need to make serious changes or alterations. You addressed supplying them a PDF, which is something I know we prefer here as do other local printers. ![]() It saddens me because I much prefer this software and don’t care for Adobe in general. I will not be able to use Publisher in the future for large projects unless this is addressed. They get a PDF this time and hopefully they can use it. If you look at my other comments I addressed this. Make life easy on yourself and everyone else and stick to what the team is using. ![]() You will create nothing but headaches trying to make something work as it will never be 100% and only create more work for the team.Īffinity has some great software, powerful and extremely affordable, but it is not a replacement for Adobe in a collaborative environment. If you are collaborating you should all be using the same software. I would check with them if they can use Publisher as you may be wasting your time trying to get Publisher to package. Adobe is the standard here and I am assuming they would be asking for a packaged Indesign file. Are you sure your printer can even use a Publisher file? I don't know any print or design house that uses any of the Affinity software.
