Multi-page view missed


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

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 ;)

The AfPub pages panel becomes a bit more flexible when you scale it.

Unfortunatley you may not set the size of the master page area:

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!AP_02.thumb.jpg.c12e9812f82ad69aeb6d9fac813e0152.jpgPPlus_02.jpg.92f586d42633eae23aec110f5cb683f4.jpg
