A_B_C Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Just quickly: I couldn’t find an answer to this question by trying different forum searches. Is it possible to copy or move a page from one document to another? Along with all guides and stuff? How do you do that? Thank you, Alex kennymingt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Sadly, No. Guides cannot be copied nor can margins. You can Select All and copy to the clipboard and paste stuff like Text Frames and Picture Frames with content etc and it will paste into the centre of the New Document page.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 it would be nice to be able to right-click in the pages and masters palettes to cut/copy/paste pages/masters. LSweet and Aristocrates 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I’m not on my Windows system right now (or I would have tried it myself!) but can’t you place another document in the current one?

A_B_C Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thank you, guys! Oh, this is an important point. There must be a way to share pages, along with guides and stuff, directly between documents. If that isn’t a feature request already, please understand that I would love to have the mentioned option. Yes, Alfred, it is possible to place a document into another one, and the placed document will have its margins and guides, when double-clicked, but the margins and guides won’t “show through.” They won’t be active in the document where it has been placed. Hmm. sportyguy209 and Aristocrates 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportyguy209 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I have an Affinity Publisher document and would like to move multiple pages from another AP document or a pdf into it. It would be nice if I could drag a series of pages from one document into the other. The only way I can see adding the pages is manually, one at a time. Am I missing an easier way?

taharvey Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This is disappointing. Very unMacOS like I've got a problem now, because Publisher crashes all over the place. Trying to copy out the pages 1-by-1 until I can track down the problem. But no way to copy-paste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennymingt Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I think this is a very essential feature, specially for groups. Not being able to just drag multiple pages from other documents into a final one is a setback for production. Copy and pasting one by one is tedious. A document merge tool will also help.

You still cannot copy a page from the pages panel to paste into another document, but we have had a major improvement in 1.8 since this thread was started. You can right-click on a page in the Pages Studio and select "Add Pages from File…" Alternatively, you can use the menu item Document->Add Pages from File… I think this is basically what you are looking for in a "document merge tool."

Aristocrates Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 We're now on version 2, and there still doesn't seem to be a way to paste pages from one document to another (unless I'm missing something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, that works! It would still be good for there to be a more intuitive copy and paste pages tool, but glad there's at least some way of achieving it. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finding Bugs Everywhere Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Yes. You can Add Page from File. But you cannot Save Page to File. You can only save a whole document. This is inconvenient. We need a feature: Save Page to File. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oufti Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 What if you first create a file, then add one page in it and save it? Doesn't it achieve quite the same result you ask for?
