Anyone2 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 A few days ago it opened each page as a separate layer, not on an artboard. Now they are loaded one after the other on an art board. I dont care for editing them on art board. How do i get them to load in normally? Just as layers. Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 What you're describing (separate pages) is normal and expected. PDF files have always opened in Designer and Photo with each PDF page as a separate Artboard. This is true in both V1 and V2, and nothing has changed.

Yes it has changed. before they opened one above the other, on my screen, as separate pages/layers. and the background was grey er light colored as usual. Now they open on a full black background that looks like a grid of pages, several columns across and several rows down. I hate that makes it so difficult to edit them. Especially when i go through and delete some from each row. Now editing to get them to line up in each page has nothing to judge the center horizontally or vertically, nothing next to it to fix on. Sorry i dont know the proper terms for that. I tried using shift to constrain the movement but that doesnt work either, when you drag part of the page off you can move it up and down, so it doesnt stay on the same axis to move it back to the page later to its place. I dont know how to make a video to show you what i mean, maybe set up my phone to point at my screen? I know there are other ways, but at them moment i am clueless. Quote

This would only happen if dragging the PDF to the Designer Persona of Publisher, is that perhaps what's happened here? In doing so it would then automatially revert to Publisher and show each page of the PDF as a individual Page in Publisher with the pages appearing one above the other like you describe...
