meineWenigkeit Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi, sorry in advance for any spelling/translation errors, I am german-speaking and so is my Affinity Version, sop I have to improvise the translations of tools/options.... The problem: I have a floor plan, which I want to import crop, but it needs to be in scale. If I import by "file > place", it's in the right size. It's a 2mb PDF file. But it doesn't give me any options for the type of picture frame, you know, the ones on top (stretch to fit, scale to min fit, none, etc...). I thought I could right click and "covert to picture frame" but this option is greyed out, so there is no other way than right click and choose "crop & trim" to just select the part I want to see. Am I missing something? Screenshot attached. Best regards, Jakob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 You can't convert a placed PDF into a picture frame, but you can create a picture frame and place the PDF then or if the PDF is already placed, create a picture frame and move the "PDF layer" into the picture frame.

prophet Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Any reason why this is the case? Seems like a simple thing to implement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Never needed this, so just find another way. You can convert to Picture Frame like this: 1. Place PDF 2. Crop with Vector Crop Tool 3.

walt.farrell Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 FYI, Layer > Convert to Picture Frame seems to work in the 1.8 beta for a Placed PDF.
