    Multi-page obituary...

    Hello all! I have an obituary for someone that is one PDF but 3 separate images. I added the PDF to the Media for that person as a Document but without opening it in Preview someone (including me if I forget it 3 images!), there is no way to know it is 3 images. I like that in Preview it one hovers over the image and it's more than one page, you see a black arrow. Any thoughts? Thank you...

    Copy all 3 into a word processor, edit if you want; Go to print, but, at bottom, click PDF and save that to wherever you want. ( I would save to desktop, then name or rename, and then move it to your media file & link it.)

      Merge them into one document with Preview. Open all three and make sure you have thumbnails showing. Drag #2 thumbnail to #1 thumbnail column; repeat by dragging #3 thumbnail likewise. If you need more guidance, go to https://support.apple.com/guide/prev...-prvw43696/mac.

        I think this bold bit is being missed in the previous responses. The original poster already has a multipage PDF. The question is how to see more than the first page within Reunion (and how to know a PDF has multiple pages to begin with). In the media window, when you click on a pdf in the thumbnail list, you will see one page of that PDF in the large view on the right, along with controls at the bottom of the view to switch pages.

        As far as I know, there's no indication in the thumbnail list that a document has multiple pages. That's a great feature request, though! Perhaps the thumbnail could show multipage pdfs with the edges of additional pages "peeking out" from behind (like stacks in the Finder). Or even just a simple indication of depth/thickness. Showing page forward/back controls right over the thumbnail would be helpful, too (much like the preview of a pdf does in the Finder's column view).

          Thank you, Brad. That is what I am thinking too, that the document/obituary is in the Media section why can't there be a black arrow showing that there are more pages. I am having the same issue with another PDF-it's 4 pages but I can't even attach it to the person's Media-I have it in my Pictures folder and it's in a folder I named Documents but it's not highlighted when I want to add it to that person's Media. I am stuck. Ugh.

            I can't believe there isn't a way to attach a multi-page document to Reunion...

              If you have confirmed that the file has a .pdf extension and you are unable to drag that file from the Finder window and drop it onto any of the locations in a Reunion window that accepts media attachments (e.g., facts; events; people & family buttons or their media sidebar panes; source media panes) then you have an issue that you should discuss with the Help Desk. The document's page count is irrelevant - I have linked the .pdf of a published genealogy that has 842 pages.
