redlik Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 HI, I'm not up to date with the betas, -what's done what coming - but I've been playing with the app after each release so excuse me if I'm asking for stuff not there yet: Multipage PDF import - is it possible already, I can't seem to find an option to pick any other page from PDF than page 1. Also when I import my PDF into blank page, without an empty frame being selected it gets embedded, instead of linked and I cannot crop/resize its frame separate from the pdf itself. Love the progress of the app so far, can't wait for the final version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Once a pdf is placed the context toolbar allows page selection. As far as I know, you have to Open a pdf to get all pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlik Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi Mike I see it now, fair play. Pity you can only import single pages, no option for range, all, selected etc. Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi redlik, Welcome to Affinity Forums You can import single pages and/or ranges if you use File ▸ Open instead of File ▸ Place (or dragging the PDF file to the canvas). 10 minutes ago, redlik said: Also when I import my PDF into blank page, without an empty frame being selected it gets embedded, instead of linked and I cannot crop/resize its frame separate from the pdf itself. When there's no frame selected the PDF file is placed directly as an embedded document into the canvas. This is by design. Same happens with images which are placed as Image layers.

redlik Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Make sense now. It's hard to drop old habits from the app we don't mention.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean ID or Q as regards to page selection when in the import/place dialog, then go right ahead and mention it...it's how APub ought to be. If you mean placing/importing an entire PDF, that also available in Q via an XTension and/or JS and via a script for ID. This capability ought to be in APub, too.

MickRose Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Unless font embedding can be implemented the idea of importing a lot of pages from a PDF sounds like a recipe for disaster. If there were to be a missing font warning that might make it useful. Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlik Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 I would love to replace ID someday but I know it will be hard and bumpy road. I also remember using inDesign at version 1 without many, many features we have now that's why I'm looking forward to the development of the Publisher. Would love to have all the features of InDesign at v.1 but also I like how they the app takes a slightly different approach then just cloning InDesign.

Willy Pimentel Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I did. You cannot save/export multiple pages.. must do it one by one Willy PimentelM1 Imac 16gb Mac os Ventura Latest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot save/export multiple pages.. must do it one by one That screenshot is Designer 1.6, not Publisher Beta which this thread is about. But, you can select the artboards you want to export, then in Export, choose 'Area > Selection with (or without) background' and just the selected artboards will be exported.
