Move objects located on different pages?

[math]

The "Edit Objects" mode lets me select objects located on different pages:

It also lets me perform various operations that would be applied to the selected objects. For example:

• Change color
• Make Italic
• Cut
• Paste
• and many more

But if I try to move them (for example, by hitting the "down" arrow on my keyboard), it doesn't work.

Is there a way to make it work?

Hello, math

No, it is not possible to move items on two or more different pages at once, the move operation happens in relation to the primary object, and this is stuck inside that "page" and its localized coordinate system. Unlike other formats, PDF is a coordinate base, and each page is a unique "plane" of existence for your content. Trying to move items on more than one page would simply result in the content from page b/c etc appearing outside the visible bounds of page a (whichever you were interacting with directly) - but never being able to visibly appear on their original pages.

Kind regards,

Thank you, Daniel.

Please consider the following feature request:

If one tries to move several objects, make it as if the objects were selected and moved individually. I think it would be very intuitive and helpful.

As for the technical implementation: I'd guess one can somehow "loop" through the objects, and apply the "move" action individually, which would avoid the issue you mentioned in your reply.

Hello, math

I will most certainly pass the suggestion along, but I cannot say i envision it being a priority. The complexity of recursive actions like these has a tendency to encounter various issues, like long form delays, and position conflicts if one page is a different size from another, etc...

We will have to wait and see what the Dev team thinks about it.

Kind regards,
