    Cool Xara page in another Xar document?

    because xara is always good for surprises that i didn't know about, i wonder, is this possible?

    i have several xara files which i want to put in one Xara document to export it as a pdf file.

    so is it possible to link a page in a xara file to another xara file (page)?

    so for example.
    page right click, link to another xar file? which page(s) do you want to show?
    the source file has been changed, wanna update? or keep the current file?
    the source file is gone, want to delete the page too? or keep the current file?

    For many problems there are simple and easy-to-understand solutions that do not work.

    Reinhard, open a number of Xara design files.
    In the Page and Layer gallery, right-click on a page and pick Copy page 'name'.
    Change the document by clicking on the document tab or other navigation method.
    Select and existing page and right-click and pack Paste page 'name'.
    The copied page should appear under the one you clicked on.
    It can be dragged around.
    If the page 'name' existed then is is renamed 'page-a'.

    The destination design can start as a blank and you can collate any pages you link into it; this preserves the originals.

    Now go File > Export PDF.

    If you have Acrobat you can combine several PDF files into one file.

    Or with Designer Pro, just import the several PDF files into a single Designer Pro document... then export as a PDF.

    As far as I understood the OP's ask was a PDF final output so staging into PDFs would be extra unneeded steps.
