I have 80 photos and I want to export them to one pdf file

What format are your photos? JPG, TIFF, something else?

I am not sure, if publisher is the right tool for this task.

For OSX you can just open all jpg in Preview-app and save or print to pdf.
For Windows it is similar with Microsoft Print to PDF, which you have to enable/install first.

If you still want to use publisher, maybe this would be a way:
- create a master with a picture frame
- create 80 pages
- then file>place
- select all jpgs ( can take some time to load at once)
- place pictures in frames from place images tab

JPG

In that case, in Publisher, you could:

  1. Create a new document, and specify the number of pages in the dialog.
  2. Click on the Place Image tool.
  3. Select all the files you want to handle, if they are in the same folder.
  4. The first file will be highlighted, Place it on the first page by clicking and dragging.
  5. Click Ctrl + PgDown to go to the next page (or use another method)
  6. The next file will be highlighted. Place it on the second page by clicking and dragging.
  7. Repeat as needed.

If you want, you can use a Master Page with a Picture Frame, if you want all the images to be the same size and location on the page. Then you can just click in the Picture Frame with the Place Image tool, rather than clicking and dragging.

I'm guessing this cannot be done (apart from manually.......).

I have the exact same issue - I want to create a document with around 300 photos.  I want to be able to import them all in one click (say into a Master Page) and then add some text to each photo.

To suggest that you do this manually, one by one, isn't what I want to read :)

Pleeeeease, make this a possibility :)
