... Thinking about the alternate routes through Affinity Publisher and InDesign moved me to try this web search query: "affinity publisher compatibility with other application file formats"
Some interesting results abide there. Marxware has some conversion tools, as well as links to some Affinity tutorials, and a light review of an early Affinity Publisher release's ability to use InDesign's .IDML file interchange format (conceptual relative of FM's MIF.) The Marxware products seem to be Mac-only. There's an inexpensive annual subscription price and a reasonable standalone license. There's even a free InDesign file viewer. The real issues are in the details of which FM features and output formats your documentation relies upon, and whether you need "round-trip" conversion from FM to another application and back that doesn't introduce artifacts that need attention which costs more in time and effort to fix, than sticking with FM and paying the rental fee. _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
