Overall Satisfaction with Affinity Publisher
I use it to create complex documents with flowed text boxes and images. I'm relatively new to it and use it as an individual person mostly for things like course syllabi where I like to have text flow around images or graphics.
- Easy to place and control fixed items like images or graphics.
- Easy to create linked boxes of flowed text.
- Nice control over alignment with global grid so text in different boxes looks right.
- Handy to switch personas to Affinity Photo or Designer for editing components
- Easy to add a table of contents.
- Complex interface takes a while to get comfortable with (training book helps with this).
- The actual page being worked on is crowded in the interface (but fine if you have a second monitor).
- I find the color selector non-intuitive and it seems to not remember previous choices.
- Low cost, not a subscription.
- Relatively easy to learn and use.
- Creates high-quality output.
- Has allowed me to create some classy-looking documents.
I used to use Adobe FrameMaker for similar tasks. Affinity Publisher is easier to use with similar functionality (excluding mathematics).
