Click **Create PDF** in the TinyImage toolbar to load all parent frames from your current Figma page.

> **Note:** Your page must contain at least one parent-level frame (a frame at the root level of the page) to create a merged PDF.

## Refreshing Parent Frames

If you add, remove, or rename parent frames while the PDF view is open, click **Refresh** in the toolbar to reload the frame list.

> **Tip:** You can use **Refresh Parent Frames** after creating new parent frames to instantly add them to the available list.
