I think that not many users will be affected by this.Įditing of Indexes is still much slower than in PagePlus X7.

I assume that fixing this would have been too risky. Publications saved from PPX9 will still not open in the Starter Edition or older versions of PagePlus without first saving them in PPX8 or PPX7. I can happily maintain my web sites using WebPlus X8 until my own demise. The demise of WebPlus is not an issue for me at all. I currently face the same issue with my old browser. I am hoping that I will be able to rebuild my publications by importing WritePlus files, but I may well find myself in limbo for years before Affinity Publisher gets all of the features that I need. Starting over with a new product is a sensible move from Serif’s point of view, although many users may be unhappy if they have no easy way of transferring their PagePlus work of many years. Although its feature set has kept improving with each new version, performance has suffered. I was rather surprised to learn about the demise of Serif’s flagship product, but there’s no getting away from the fact that it’s getting harder to patch up the old ship and keep it competitive with modern alternatives. Older versions are no longer sold by Serif so I have merged my reviews of them into the section on Legacy Features. The wish-list for future versions is defunct so I have removed it from this already too long page. Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo for Windows have been available for some time.įor a few years yet PagePlus X9 will still be the best Serif DTP product for Windows users. It will be a while yet before Affinity Publisher is as capable as PagePlus X9. They were designed to be cross-platform, so porting them to Windows has always been in the pipeline. Legacy products can now be registered with a Universal Registration Key of 881887ĭue to the success of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer for the MAC, Serif have decided to concentrate their efforts on the Affinity range of products. If you do buy it on E-bay etc., make sure that it is a legal copy with a product key. As of October 2019, they are no longer sold. With the Release of Affinity Designer for Windows, Serif announced that PagePlus X9, PhotoPlus X8, and DrawPlus X8 are legacy products. Alfred has set up a support forum for Serif users.
