Wolf_ Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hi, I happen to import pdfs into affinity photo because I need to convert some web-optimized pages to jpg. Also, I often have to edit or hide a text and I'd like to know if there is a way to select a text layer from the workspace (where I can see the pdf and interact with it), so that I don't have to manually search for that particular layer from the "Levels" tab where there are many elements. Thanks for all your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can't see Find in Layers Panel options, have I to use Photo persona? Thank you for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Son of a…Photo seems to inexplicably lack the "Find in Layers Panel" option! What an odd…choice?…error? Sorry for the wrong info @Wolf_. Do you have the other Affinity apps? They are likely a better choice anyway for manipulating existing PDFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It exists but not in the main menus @Wolf_ Use the Move Tool to select the layer/object you want then right-click and you will see the option "Find in Layers Panel" there Post back if not doing as you want as there are other options, such as Auto-scroll, which may help you Fixx 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

All three apps include the right-click "Find in Layers Panel" option so the inconsistency here is only AD includes that option in the Layer menu.
