I performed a quick reality check in IDML to X direction (ID CS6, QuarkXPress 2022, Viva Designer 10, APub 1.10.4), and except for Serif (and Adobe), the results were depressing. But ID exists for long, and there's a lot of data, and I'm not sure Affinity's goal is to produce apps and files reproducing such structure (this documentation, helpful for scripting, can give an idea):

IDML is simply an archive (zip) containing XML files.
No problem, it's possible to collaborate with someone working with APub.īut for important work, like books and magazines using advanced features not yet - and probably never - in APub, it would be a complete mess to send back a file made with another app than ID.Īnd certainly the end of a collaboration if people need to spend hours correcting your files to get back to a proper ID file. Now, about the collaboration part, if you only do simple files, like simple ads, without any special links, etc. You've got previous answer in this thread: To be honest: I just realice Affinity Publisher is a dead end road concerning colaboation – i would have never though that and it annoys and saddens me. To say "Well then you're better off staying with Adobe"s subscription trap hell, neither.

idml worth it - comparing to the trouble we professionals have NOT BEING ABLE AT ALL to share our work with the rest of the world who still mayorily uses Indesign? Isn't that ignoring facts? To let us Publisher fans force or at least convince service providers or collegues to "also buy, install and learn" Affinity isn't nice. idml-specs as soon as Publisher is able to export into it? And even if they did: Isn't the hassle to adapt to eventual changes in.
The same would apply to a successful collaboration between an APub user and an ID user.ĭo Affinity's programmers / deciders really think that Adobe would alter its. That is, capabilities of the lowest ID version dictates what a person with a newer version can/should do as regards using features not in the lower version. As one (opening) gains capabilities, so too could its exporting.Įven today, within Adobe InDesign, successful collaboration between disparate ID versions is always at the lowest common feature denominator. idml export as they can its import/opening capabilities. However, Serif can/could provide as good of.
If they do, they are going to be sorely disappointed. I don't think anyone thinks that can happen in one or two major releases. In-coming feature parity (as much as Serif can) can be attained over time. However, APub's advantage is Adobe is adding new features at a snail's pace. Yes, but perhaps "feature-complete" was the more important part of that statement.įeature parity in-so-much as Serif can program same/similar features is, will be, always a race but can never truly be attained (there are things/capabilities ID has Serif has stated will not happen or take a "long time" to happen).
