"The file type is not supported"

[Martynas]

Hi! I'm also having issue with "The file type is not supported" when I try to place scanned PDF (v 1.7) in any affinity program.

Hi @Martynas,

Welcome to the forum

Is it possible for you to upload a copy of the PDF file that is causing this message

@DWrightI also get this behavior, all the time for PDFs of scanned documents, and simply assumed that Affinity suite really doesn't support it!  When the PDF consists of just an image, rather than text objects, you get this when you Place or drag-and-drop, etc.  I usually select the image in a PDF reader, then copy-and-paste the image (as an image layer, not a PDF).
