importing vectors as PDF into XDP18.5

UPDATE: magix have now sent this over to the [xara] development team to look at.....

Am I missing something here.
If you create a three page xar file and export it as a pdf it should export as a three page pdf surely?
If you only want to create a one page pdf then create all your vectors on that page. This single page pdf will contain all the vectors on a single page.

hi egg

I'm importing a series of seperate PDF asset files each one of which is part of a cut out model [eg: face, hair, left arm, right arm... etc); I want these all to import onto the same page of course, so as to make up the model

in version 15.1 when I drag drop-in multiple pdf files I get an option to merge all on the one page, or open each one on a seperate page; that first option seems to have been lost in version 18.5/pro+

these are not paginated files; PDF was always the file format we were advised to use for vector drawing transfers involving xara, and I still use it; TB Harmony only allows for PDF vectors, it does not support SVG or any other format; using PDF minimises any issues with Illustrator, it is the industry standard

yes i can use 15.1 for this, but it means I will end up do everything xara related in 15.1, less trouble than chopping and changing, and the upgrade was a waste of money for me until it is fixed

Ah, with you now HD. That's a big step backward.
