What is Affinity Publisher?

From the earliest days of visualizing the Affinity range, we planned an unrivaled trio of sleek, modern apps tailored to work with the latest technology – ultra-fast, with stunning power and completely stripped of bloat.

The final step towards realizing that ambition will come with the launch of Affinity Publisher.

It’s an all-new app which we believe will revolutionize desktop publishing, in the same way Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer have shaken up professional photo editing and graphic design.

[+] Styles setup on the panel is convenient.
[+] Intuitive Table Style options
[?] No subscription

[-] No color separation preview
[-] Slow path editing, changes appears with small lag.
[-] No Pure Black viewport options.

[-] No GREP alternatives
[-] No IDML import like in Quark | Is presented in latest releases 1.8.x, not tested by me yet.

[-] Non-convenient Overprint color option (available only as Global Color option) and doesn't work after PDF export at the moment (may be a bug)
[-] No EPUB mastering
[-] No linked/embeds explorer
[-] No manual table cells sorting
[-] Blurry UI fonts (maybe bug, it's dynamically changes while moving)
[-] Leaves registry data keys after uninstallation.

Said about Affinity Publisher as an alternative

Although it is only in beta, it has already proven to do everything Indesign can do. It is also much more intuitive.

Not only a good alternative, the latest version (1.8) loads InDesign IDML files.

orondunedin Great, inexpensive page layout software. It's not really a feature-for-feature replacement for InDesign, but it is powerful, particularly if you also have Affinity Photo and Designer.
