Placing PDF Files in Publisher

[GregStetski]

We place PDF files into a predefined file with 6 pictures frames per page, two across and three down.  We can do this fairly quickly by clicking on each picture frame manually.  We would prefer to use Autofill, but it fills the picture frames vertically according to some "predefined" function as noted by Affinity, and so is unusable.  Can we somehow specify for Autofill to fill the frames from left to right and then top to bottom?  We create hundreds of these files and would appreciate time savers.  Thank you.

Hi Greg and welcome to the forums. AutoFlow doesn't care where the frames are on your page but in their order in the layer stack. It fills frames from bottom to top of the layer stack. So just re-order the frames on your page using the Layers panel and the feature will work the way you want.

Cheers
