Tom55 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 When I add my PDF document into Affinity Publisher, each line of the text comes in as a single text box. Same with the Doc in Word Format. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi and welcome to the forums @Tom55, To my knowledge we are stuck with that when placing a PDF, one thing you can do is to open the pdf and there is an option to organize the text into a better set of Paragraphs instead of discrete lines. This would mean copy and paste though. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, Tom. There are several ways you could "add your PDF" (or a Word document) to a Publisher document. Please provide more information on exactly what you did.

Cutting and pasting the text page by page into Affinity. Luckily, this time it is a total of only 52 pages with images and text. So when I finish copying text I will go back to the image files and insert them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Document - Add pages from file. That's it. come in the same way from either Word or Acrobat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
