If an Affinity Publisher user does not own InDesign anymore. Maybe they are sick and tired of paying a subscription or maybe for other reasons. They could not open or convert their archive of InDesign files into the new Publisher. But with a new Markzware software, they can! IDMarkz will open native InDesign files right up in Affinity Publisher! Affinity Publisher can import InDesign files that have been saved in IDML (InDesign Markup Language) format, which is available in InDesign CS4 and later. With earlier versions of InDesign, you can export documents to PDF and then import that format directly into Affinity Publisher.
Whether you’re working on a layout for a magazine, putting together a portfolio or producing a set of brand guidelines, using an Affinity Publisher template that has been professionally designed could save you heaps of time.
Fundamental things like master pages, margins, columns, text boxes and page numbers will be set up for you, and by using Affinity Publisher’s powerful layout and typography tools, you can easily add your own content, move objects around and customise the design to suit your needs.
If you’re looking to get a head start with your next publication or just need a bit of creative inspiration, check out our pick of Affinity Publisher templates now available to purchase on Creative Market.

We hope this has given you a taste of the high-quality Affinity Publisher templates available. You can find more compatible templates by searching for Affinity Publisher on Creative Market and other creative content marketplaces.
Part of the so-called 'Affinity trinity', Affinity Publisher is Serif's answer to Adobe InDesign. The three apps work together beautifully thanks to the StudioLink feature, so you can edit images in Affinity Photo, create illustrations in Affinity Designer, and pull everything together in a gorgeous creation in Affinity Publisher.
For anyone who has worked with InDesign, there's good and bad news, and it's worth getting to grips with this sooner rather than later. While Affinity Publisher supports IDML, there is -- unfortunately – no INDD support. This means that it is possible to work with files in Publisher that you have created in InDesign, but it's not as seamless or as simple a process as many people would like.
With the bad news out of the way, let's focus on the good. Affinity Publisher has a great deal to offer and, like the rest of its stablemates, it delivers powerful tools with style. There is a massive undo history which gives you great flexibility for rolling back unwanted changes. It would be easy to overlook Publisher because of its association with Serif, but this really is a professional-level tool.
The beauty of Affinity Publisher is its flexibility. It will fit perfectly into professional print workflows, and preflight alerts will draw potential problems to your attention before it is too late. There's support for smart master pages and although there are no templates bundled with the software to help you get started, it is possible to save your own files as templates for speed up the creation of subsequent documents. Publisher does, however, include a number of sample documents that help to give an idea of what it is capable of.
Affinity Publisher Indesign
When it comes to dealing with text, there is OpenText support and handy options such as text on a curve. As for images, you can import directly from Affinity Photo, or add images in numerous popular formats. Editing is possible thanks to the availability of non-destructive adjustment layers.
Ordinarily, there is a trial available that last just 10 days, but at time of writing this has been extended to 90 days. You'll need to register online though, as even the trial needs a serial code, which you can do here.
Verdict:
Affinity Publisher Indesign Templates
A hugely impressive piece of software with an almost unbelievably low price tag. Just about the only thing that used to count against Affinity Publisher was its lack of support for InDesign files, but the recently added IDML import option address thing making it hard to turn down.
