iSeeThis Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It should be convenient to have Publisher work like PDF maker software. Now I only have to drag AP's documents one by one onto a page. Please make it happen and it will fulfill my dream like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 You can already do this on Windows, and I presume it would work similarly on Mac: Create a new Publisher document. It will have one page. Click on the Place Image Tool, which will open up a dialog to select files. Select the images you want, and click Open (or other appropriate dialog button). You now have the Place Image panel open, and the first image highlighted. Click and drag in the document to Place the first image. If you want the next image to be on the same page, click and drag again to Place it. If you want the next image on a new page, ctrl+shift+PageDn to create a new page, then click and drag on it to Place the image. Repeat from step 5 until you're done. You could use Guides on a Master Page to help position the images if you want one per page and in the same position. Or you could use an approach where you put a picture frame on a document page and then duplicate that page "n" times, and then navigate from page to page placing the images. When you're done, File > Export... to make your PDF. iSeeThis 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the lastest version. I've got Place Images tab with my images but I can't drag it into the document area. Actually I can't do anything with images, right click or left click. Is that all about the version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSeeThis Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 It will be wonderful if we have another choice to drag them all and place it onto the Pages section and ready to make PDF for the press. I've done all the job in Affinity Photo already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Image Place Tool selected, clicking on the page or dragging on the page should Place the top image from that tab.
