When I import a PDF the text seems to be broken down into individual lines, rather than paragraphs. Is there any way to join these text lines together in proper order to form a paragraph? How about joining them all to form a page? Any ideas? Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

Just a note here. PDFs have no concept of paragraphs. PDFs are only aware of "text runs" which often mean lines of text but sometimes even just words and/or letters.

What APub and other applications capable of attempting to reconstruct paragraphs from these "text runs" is actually remarkable--but not infallible.

Some applications have the ability to make paragraphs from selected lines of text. That capability I believe think would be a good addition one day to Affinity applications.

They had it once in version 2.0.3 I believe and it made thirdparty pdf loading much more convenient.
Alas it wasn't by design I guess.

 

Then perhaps it'll make it back in one day.
