PDF Page Option

[Daragh252]

I want to add a page from a PDF which has 42 pages. What I want is the option to choose page 3 of the PDF to place into the image box. At the moment I can only choose the 1st page. Can anyone help?

Hi @Daragh252,

Yes you should be able to do that, provided the PDF is not restricted. I just tried it, and was able to.

Go to Document>Add Pages from File. You'll get a browse window to navigate to the PDF file, select it. Then a window will open where you select the page(s) you want to insert, and where.

If you're Placing a multi-page PDF and you're using Publisher 2, then the Place Images panel will open (by default, in the Left Studio) and it will allow you to select the page you want:

place images is different from add pages.

place pages put your pdf on pages keeping your document original, not have a changes, original page is placed. And choice a pdf with multiple pages to place we need to select one of pages to place on menu. A best option to place multiple pdf pages is divide the pdf in one page per file, then use place function and select all files. this method allow to keep various pages in place menu, after this click more quickly page a page putting a pages on a frame pre-formated for all pages using master page for example.

add pages from file is a menu to import all pages automactly but "interpret" pdf and manipulate our files, changing fonts, paragraphs, objects...is fast but ir for editing purpose, not keep original file.

sorry for english, im brazilian not using a google translator now rsrs

we need to have a function in V2 to select all pages on left studio panel of place panel, not one page only...

You've got that, too.

Highlight and select as many of the pages as you want.

You can find more info in the Help (I would start here) and in the Tutorials (especially this one amd this one).

Oh good i dont have see the little arrow to click, but now i have try this and is very good, thanks! and thanks affinity team for this function!

however, i have placed all the pdf pages in a frame with size bigger than page size for keep bleed, but bleed shows only i click in page on layer panel than click on frame on this page and click on page placed on this frame to change page box option to "media box". Because the placed pages from pdf have placed in trimbox mode from default. I search an option to change the default page box mode before the place a page from pdf but dont see. 

I have changed one by one page box mode of "trim box" to "media box" for bleed appears.

If you use Picture Frames, and put them on a Master Page, perhaps you can just change the setting once. Or perhaps not. I haven't tried. You may simply need to change it for each one.
