becreart Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hello At the moment it is not possible to scale a placed PDF with % always in relation to its original size. This is necessary if you work with scale plans etc. My request is to have a % number in the transformation tool to scale PDFs always to its original size, like it is already possible with pictures. Thank you. ivbera, udrabo, TimW and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udrabo Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Yes, I support this! It should be possible to handle placed PDFs like placed Images with regard to size and frame fitting. This is essential! mac_heibu and becreart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I second this. These are not one of those „nice to have“ or „add a button to make it easier“ feature requests. This is simply a necessity for all users dealing with print design. Fact is, that everyone, who creates print products, is aware, that these options are available in literally every second and third class publishing app, and doesn’t understand, why it is missing in Publisher … udrabo and becreart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 You can scale PDFs like any graphic. There is though no way to see %. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udrabo Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 That’s true, but often one needs the possibility of percentage scaling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becreart Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 @Fixx but without having the relation to it’s original size, which is important when working with plans and drawing with a scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 If you import a PDF as is it is 100 % and thus in original scale. You can scale by percentage [Type 50%, press Enter]. Problem is indeed that scaling information is lost after that. After a while you do not remember what you have scaled and how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth A. Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just switched from Indesign to Publisher ... it's really great! But I very much support this request as well! It is a necessity too see the percentage in relation to original size ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianB Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I know it's an old thread but it shows up in Google searches so: there is a way to view the percentage of original size: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
