page numbers invisible in document


Recommended Posts

I did not see this exact problem within a form search.

I imported a PDF into Publisher. Created a master page. Added a text frame. Inserted page number. Hashtag visible on master page. Attached doc page to master page. Text frame became visible on the doc page, but no page number visible.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

When you say that you imported a PDF, it's not clear what you mean. You might have Opened it, or you might have used Document > Add Pages From File, or you might have used File > Place.

Can you provide more details, please?

And can you give us a screenshot of the Master Page, and another of the document page (with the Layers panel)?

I'll wager that the PDF is covering the Page  Number.

If it's Placed, and expanded to cover the full page, that's a good guess.

Thx for that! I'm not 100% sure, but Document>Add Pages From File sticks out in my memory.

With the top layer chosen, I see the text frame around the pdf text.

With the Rectange layer, I see the pdf text frame, the number frame, and a frame with handles around the whole page.

With the Master A layer, I see a text frame around the whole page.

When I click on the Master A layer, I get that last text frame on the layers panel, but no frames appear in the doc.
