Hello
At the moment it is not possible to scale a placed PDF with % always in relation to its original size.
This is necessary if you work with scale plans etc.
My request is to have a % number in the transformation tool to scale PDFs always to its original size, like it is already possible with pictures.
Thank you.
-
the % number in the picture frame is related to the pictureframe size not the original size… unfortunately.
or am I wrong?

you can create a mask with a rectangle

If you know the original PDF size then try inputting those measurements first, hit enter. Your PDF should now be it's original size. Now go into the transform panel again and input your %... This has worked for me on trying a quick test.
Yap sure, but only once. It should be possible to change it several times. And it is also necessary to know how many percent the placed PDF is at anytime.

You can do precise transformations by using the Transform Panel, if you can not see this then go to View>Studio and tick Transform. Make sure that the Image you wish to transform is selected, check that the lock is enabled so that both height & width are affected. Then simply overtype either the H or W with whatever % you need, then hit enter. You can also use precise measurements by overtyping the existing.
Hope this helps
Thank you for your answer!
Unfortunately this doesn’t work. I tried to explain it in my first post. If you change the size of the PDF with a percentage number it always calculates the new size from the actual millimetres not the original PDF size.

Hi Affinity community
I'm glad Affinity Publisher is finally out and want to switch from InDesign (as I guess many of us).
But I'm struggling with linkes PDF files. We are working with Scale sensitive plans and drawings and it is very important, that we can handle the size of the linkes files precisely.
It should be possible to define the zooming in numbers (and not only slider) – how can I do that? I also realised, when placing a PDF file in a Picture Frame the percentage is not correct to the original PDF file. The 100% is linkes to the picture frame and not to the PDF file. Is this possible to change in the settings?
Or am I doing it wrong? Maybe there is a much easier way and I'm used to the workflow of InDesign.
The goal is to link PDF files, mask them in Publisher and have a precisely control of the "Zoom" level.
Thank you for your help.

okey cool, that sounds great.
is there a rough roadmap available?
looking forward to switch from InDesign!

I would like to switch from Illustrator to Designer but therefore I also need DXF / DWG import and export possibilities.
Would love to see this in the near future!

It seems "Fields" can be used to insert section names etc. But it is also possible to create new fields?
I'm looking to create running headers based on character or paragraph styles, where I'm able to define them like in InDesign.
So, is it possible to create new "Fields" ?

Dear Affinity-Team
is there a plan to integrate text variables (as they are known from InDesign) into Affinity Publisher?
Or is this function already integrated with another name?

but without having the relation to it’s original size, which is important when working with plans and drawing with a scale.
