apaeffgen Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 1. Komplex Content of a Master page 2. Import for multi-page pdf 3. Merging the komplex master page with the multi-page pdf. At the moment, it is possible to place the first page of a multi-page pdf in a document with a komplex master page. But if you open a multi-page pdf, the master page is empty. To apply a complex master, saved as a separate file is not possible. There could be different solutions to the problem. Indesign has a plugin for that. Not ideal, but it works. Maybe there could be a solution for this problem as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Could you be a little more specific to make your issue reproducible and/or attach a Publisher document, which demonstrates the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apaeffgen Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Open an empty document Create only a komplex master (Header / Footer) Save the document. Open a PDF File with many pages in Publisher How to get the First document (only the master) into the second document Hope this is specific enough?

mac_heibu Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Do you really mean „open a PDF“? Why not „place a PDF“? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apaeffgen Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Maybe i did something wrong, but if i place a pdf, just the first page of a multi-page-pdf is inserted. There are no options, how to handle the other pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want several pages from the placed PDF you will need to insert it several times and select the appropriate page for each instance. Importing the PDF as a new document instead of placing it into an existing document should give you all of the pages individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a document with hundreds of pages you do not want to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just a workaround in the worst possible way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 If you think, that spending about 5,6 seconds is „a workaround in the worst possible way“ — ok, it is your opinion. But if you think, that a new publishing application in its initial release incorporates all features of applications, which had 20, 30 years time to proceed and develop — isn‘t this a little bit naive and overestimating the possibilites of a relativ small team?

Maybe you get the post wrong? I thought it is a forum to discuss features, that are missing and to check which could be implemented in the future. As it is a beta and is not for sale i never thought that it will have all the features that Indesign has. It is a hint for the developers, what some future clients think is missing. Your argument seems to me like "Its not bug, its a feature". But maybe better close this thread. " The title of this forum is "Discussions and Suggestions". This was a suggestion. If suggestions are not welcome, never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Nothing, really nothing against proposals and suggestion for further development of „Publisher“! Re-read my answer and you will see, that I didn‘t refuse a feature of transferring master pages. I referred to qualifying fde101‘s proposal as „which millennium this technique is? It is just a workaround in the worst possible way“. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
