fulanku Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Version 2.3.1 Mac M1 with and without Acceleration repeatable. I placed(File->Place) an PDF File with 4 pages. Made 3 copies with Command-C Command-V Grouped all four. Then I chose pages 1-4 in the ArtBoard setting in the context menu so that each PDF page was visible. After saving, closing the document and reopening it, the page settings are random. Edited January 9 by fulanku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hi @fulanku and welcome to the forums, I believe this is a known bug which happens when the PDF is Linked rather than embedded though I'm struggling to find the bug reference at the moment so I can't check whether or not this is listed as fixed but I'll update this thread once I (or anyone else) have been able to locate it... It would have been reported initially as an issue in Publisher rather than Photo but I believe it is likely the same issue...

fulanku Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 (edited) Hi @Hangman, I searched for the bug but couldn't find it. I tried the workaround with embedding the PDF, but with no success. The pages still get mixed up. Well, I fired too early. After embedding and setting each page again, the problem is solved.

Though of course, this is still effectively a bug since there should be no need to Embed your placed files but hopefully, for now at least, this provides a workaround...

Staff Lee_T Posted January 12 Staff Share Posted January 12 Hi fulanku, As @Hangman suggested, this is a known issue with a fairly simple workaround, but will hopefully be resolved soon. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
