DEFI Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'm missing a multi-page view option (showing several pages on screen a the same time). In Pageplus, there was such a feature implemented (Option: show 1x1 to 4x2 sides on screen) I can't find such a function in AP? Is there a possibility? I really miss it! Thanks DEFI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If you zoom out enough you can have several pages on the screen. Also, the Pages panel provides thumbnails of the pages, and you can adjust their size somewhat. You can also drag that panel wider, I think. I'm not at the computer right now, so I can't confirm. But it doesn't sound like it's as flexible as what Page plus provided.

DEFI Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi, there is still a difference: In AP all pages are shown in a vertical row, in PPlus I can arrange the pages, for example 5 pages: 3 in the first horizontal row and then 2 pages in the second. Please take a look at the attached screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2019 I agree, but the developers have not gone down this route, mainly I think because of the problems accesing pasteboard content in that mode. (I would have just hidden "pastebosrd objects" until you return to list view). I would also like single page view. None of this is my call but I would like to see this too fde101 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

DEFI Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 I often need this feature in PagePlus to get an overview, for example, to arrange the order of pictures :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEFI Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi, ther is still a diffence. in the preview-area it work, but not in the main-window. I'm an old freehand user. It's a long time ago, but there was no limitation (in both dimensions), how many pages could be shown at the same time in the main-window. PagePlus was limited to show only four in a horizontal row, but that was enough to arrange pictures ans pages too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
