But if it’s anywhere near the same as it used to be with a PSD than it will be a while…Īnyhow, I think (as much as I dislike many of their SW-decisions) Microsoft has done this part pretty much spot on with their office-suite: offer to save in an older format. (not sure how “open” the file format is from a dev point of view). I can see why IDML isn’t exactly supported, after all it’s an adobe thing. I really think that this is a bit of a serious compatibility issue… but it still means keeping V1 in place… which isn’t possible on the iPad Pro (no v1). Sure the „easy way out“ would be to simply „force“ the other parties to buy the V2 apps… and whilst I personally find pricing to be very reasonable, I don‘t think its the solution I‘m looking for.Ĭopy & Paste : well this would work - on my own computer …. Which also means v2 on the ipad is often out of the question. Which means I need to keep relying on V1 - keep a double install … and always make sure to ask whether it‘s from v1 or v2. It also means I had to recreate the changes I had made from scratch in V1 (I used the Macbook which had still both versions installed - if I had only had the iPad at hand it wouldn‘t have been possible at all) … which meant a few hours of work just because version change.Īlso when someone shares an AFPUB file with me, I have no practical way of knowing whether it‘s v1 or v2… so when I open it in v2 - no problems… but save and share back for some more collaborative work - and if the sender had made it using with V1 they can‘t keep working on it. That does sort of work - but you loose pretty much all usable editability (text boxes are one line text-items etc… which makes collaborating on that document pretty much useless.) I‘ve tried to „work around“ the issue by exporting as a PDF… and then sending the PDF and open that in V1. Or offer export / Import in both V2 and V1 with a compatibility format, or IDML or whatever …. (especially considering the original file was made with V1) There‘s no option to save the file for an older version (MS Office has been offering that feature for ages)… I‘d be perfectly happy to loose a few features in the file, but give me some option to export it so that someone with an older version (one version) of Publisher can OPEN it …. I thought, „no Problem“ I just do an export to something else…īut there is simply NOTHING I could do that would work. That, whilst annoying, would be „understandable“ with feature advancements etc, often in SW-Dev it‘s difficult to achieve a complete backwards compatibility with newer files. Only to hear back from the recipient in a short time, that she couldn‘t open the File anymore …Īpparently the V2 files, same file extension etc… are indeed not backwards compatible at all. Yesterday I received a Publisher File (made in V1 by someone else) - and proceeded to make a few changes I wanted, then saved it and sent it back. The following issue is NOT Exclusive to the iPad - it‘s the same on the Desktop app… Package your document alongside all used image and font resources before transferring to a colleague, or collate multiple files to create one large document like a book or annual report.I‘ve been a long time user of the V1 Apps (on MacOs mostly) and also on iPad Os… and recently upgraded to the V2 apps.
