vjsouza Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hello. I have a folder with hundreds sequential numbered PNG files, 1920x1080 pixels. I need to joint them into a single PDF. one image each page. Does exist a way to do this with Affinity Publisher? If does not have, this is a good suggestion to improvements!

Alfred Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It sounds as though you’re looking for the ‘Database Merge’ feature which will be added in a later version. I don’t there’s a quick and easy way with the current feature set.

There are several different ways to accomplish your task. In Windows you can use the print command to send multiple seperate image files to Microsoft's PDF printer. This will combine all images into one file. See an explanation here: https://www.howtogeek.com/248462/how-to-combine-images-into-one-pdf-file-in-windows/ I would assume there must be a way to do this on Mac, too. Cheers, d.

I just a few days ago merged 58 TIF images to one PDF file using Apple Preview. Just open first image, export it as PDF, and drag the rest of the images to sidebar thumbnail. Now, that is only an image merge to multipage file, if you want certain page size other than image size you must adjust some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Alternatively, using Preview on the Mac, you can also open all of your images, select all image thumbnails in the sidebar, and use File > Print > Save to PDF. This way you can make the desired settings in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Library Eye Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) I just download the Affinity products yesterday, thanks to the great promotional offer going on right now. This was immediately a feature I missed from Acrobat. I see a few posts here about it, but I don't think any mention what seems to be the best option if you are using a Mac. Open the Automator application that comes with all Macs. Hit Command N or go File> New Select the gear icon ("Quick Action" on current OS) From the Library at left, in the PDFs submenu, select and drag over "New PDF from Images" Configure the options as you would like; from the very, very limited testing I have done (like, comparing of two source images to their results within PDF), it seems so far that the “Size Each Page to Fit” option maintains the original quality of each image. Hit Command S, or go Flie> Save to give this new Workflow a name - I'd suggest "New PDF from Images" Now this Workflow will appear as contextual menu / service when you select the images you want in Finder and right-click with your mouse or trackpad. Once you choose your Workflow from the contextual menu, a PDF will save to your selected destination (which Automator sets as your Desktop by default).

A_B_C Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Right, that’s a great solution too. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
