The file looks different in Affinity Publisher

Article1 min readUpdated Feb 23, 2025View source ↗

When you open an .idml file in Affinity Publisher, it sometimes doesn't know how to read certain portions of the InDesign file. As a result, you might see missing images, placement might be wrong, or layers and master pages become out of order. We do not check the .idml files for compatibility with Affinity. Your mileage will vary if you are using Affinity Publisher.
