I have to say, that despite my earlier comments, I agree with you. I accept the flaws because the alternatives are slim and costly and because there are a lot of positives that the Affinity line brings to the table.

I don't look a gift horse in the mouth. We're still at version 1.x. Otherwise, why not stick with Adobe? Adobe is the exploiter, Affinity is the alternative, even if imperfect.

I think the only reason people are so upset is because Adobe is bleeding them dry with their subscription model. Then essentially bashing Serif for not seeing things their way. There are other issues I find more problematic, but I keep reading posts where some user insists his missing feature is the most import one of all. Import needs to be addressed no doubt, but it's not a deal breaker to me personally.
Ms publisher to indesign full#
Over the last 10 years no other company, neither Quark or Corel, or anyone else has even tried to create a full suite of pro design products. I'm not happy that the feature is not yet available but ecstatic that someone had the stones to compete with Adobe at all. Or you can get a copy of Xpress, which I believe imports INDD. If you have a bunch of INDD files you can continue working with them using InDesign as you have been. You're no worse off now than you were last month before Publisher was released. I imagine someone creating a new word processor app would have to ensure it was able to read MS Word documents, and this is no different.Īs mentioned, the IDML import is being worked on. It's a serious oversight to release version 1 after significant beta test, without this item.

Maybe you're happy with a new product that can't read the interchange file format from the industry-leading product, but I'm not. There are certain basic expectations for any new product and at the minimum, it should be able to read existing files and not have to create them from scratch again. It's nothing to do with "level of entitlement".
