Importing Multipage PDF Files

The app can import multipage PDF files. You can choose to import one, several or all pages.

Importing the First Page

To import the first page of a multipage PDF, drag the PDF from Finder and drop it into the canvas in your document. One-page PDFs can be imported in the same way.

You can also import the first page using the Import PDF dialog described below.

Importing Some or All Pages

In order to select pages that you want to import, use one of these ways:

• Choose File > Import from the main menu
• Drag and drop a file onto the app's icon
• Right-click on a PDF file in Finder and select Open With and then Amadine

The app will open the Import PDF dialog where you can select pages. Once done, click the Import button. Each page will appear on a separate sheet. The sizes of sheets will be the same as the sizes of pages in the PDF.

If you use the File > Import menu command while a document is open in the app, the PDF pages will be added to this document. Otherwise, a new document will be created.

The Import PDF Dialog

The dialog helps you select pages that should be imported. The middle of the dialog displays page previews together with page numbers.

In order to import the entire PDF, select the All pages option.

To select particular pages, choose Range and then type in page numbers in the text field. Examples:

• 1,2,4 - page numbers are separated by commas let you import the listed pages.
• 1-4 - a range of pages is defined by the numbers of the first and last pages in the range with hyphen between them.
• 1,4-6 - a range and separate page number(s) can be used together.
• 3,2,1 - import the first three pages in the reversed order.

To be able to edit the contents of imported pages, you have to expand them. This can be done automatically with help of the Expand for editing checkbox. You can expand the pages manually after importing them. To do that, use the Modify > Expand command in the main menu. Don't expand pages if you are not going to edit those.
