Can DesignCraft open InDesign files? DesignCraft opens and exports InDesign Markup (.idml) files. The Open dialog does not list InDesign's own .indd format. 30 0.6.0

Yes for IDML, the InDesign Markup format. DesignCraft can open .idml files and export them with File, then Export IDML….

The Open… dialog lists .designcraft and .idml files only, so it does not offer InDesign's own .indd files. See Open a DesignCraft or InDesign (IDML) file.

IDML import is not complete. Open issues in the tracker report that custom text-wrap boundaries (#451) and saved image clipping paths (#450) are lost when importing IDML, and that bullets and numbers in lists show as missing-font magenta in some templates (#110). Check your layout after importing.

DesignCraft can also export PDF (including PDF/X-4 and PDF/A-2b), PNG and EPUB. See Export a PDF.
