Roger Schaerer got a reaction from Dan C in "True to Size" of a PDF (Scale)
Thanks to all of you and to the Affinity Team. In Affinity 2 this topic is solved!

Roger Schaerer got a reaction from _Th in More then 2 facing pages
Im an Architect and I have to layout several A0 Plansheets side by side. In InDesign i could place more then two pages side by side as facing pages.
Chat GPT suggested a workaround with making one big Page of the size of 3 A0 Sheets and export not a page but the chosen selection of the Page. That works, but is very inconvinient. Would be great if you can bring that in the next update.
The Screenshot shows 6 A0 Sheets on 2 oversize Pages which should be published for Printing to 6 A0 Pages...

Roger Schaerer got a reaction from MNU in "True to Size" of a PDF (Scale)
Hi
We are testing affinity Publisher in our architecture Company.
Everything is fine beside one very important topic:
If we import an architectural plan (PDF) we have to be sure, that we publish it "true to size".
In Indesign we could double click the placed object (PDF gets an orange frame) and then we saw (and could change) in the menubar the scale (see attached picture).
We saw if its 100% to the original PDF size (for example scale 1:500) or if its 50% (1:1000) or because of a (wrong) manipulation 79%, what we would have to adjust to a correct scale.
Do you understand what i mean? I couldn't find a way in Affinity Publisher to control that. And without this, the program is not functional for our layouting.
We are working with a german version of affinity (1.8.6.) and Indesign. Our two companies have 38 architect and i know that a lot of architecture company in zuerich are unhappy with the pricing of InDesign and are looking for substitution.
My User Email is schaerer@roger.net. I started with your Betaversion. You improved so many things, this is the only problem left before i can substitute Indesign in the whole company...
Best Regards
