Inkscape Guide Pdf
Inkscape has now pages support. You can create a multiple page document using Inkscape, just like in Corel Draw. Install this extension, restart Inkscape and you're done. Insert new pages, navigate through pages, print all pages in a single PDF. Inkscape multiple pages support Web Site. I discovered this quite by accident. Inkscape will open PDF files, one page at a time, and then you can edit and re-arrange things with it. The initial 'page' is a single object that must be ungrouped (Control-Shift-G) to work with parts of it.

Hey all, I'm trying to remove pages from a multipage PDF file. I can see how to import the desired into GIMP as layers or as images, but I can't figure out how to get it to export it back as a multipage PDF. When I try to export, it seems to export only the top layer.

Any help would be appreciated edit: update Thanks for all the tips. I ended up first trying to use the export layers to pdf plugin, which gave a strange error trying to write to the tmp folder. Then I exported the layers as an.mng and converted using graphicsmagick, which worked except for not being able to comment in the pdf file. I ended up having to use Acrobat on a school computer later. Using GIMP for PDF editing is a terrible, terrible idea. GIMP is a raster only program, meaning that every file imported into it must be a grid of pixels with a fixed resolution.
The advantage of PDF files is that they are vector and thus easy to print. If you are on a Mac, use Preview, it is very easy and 10x better than GIMP. If you are on Windows, there are a ton of programs that can open and open PDFs without losing quality like GIMP will. If you are on Linux, there are at least a dozen apps that could all do this. Okular, PDFedit, OoO/Libreoffice, or even Inkscape will all do the trick.
TL;DR: GIMP is not the tool for this job, but there are a lot of great, free alternatives available that do what you want. GIMP is 100% raster. With the exception of the Text Tool, every effect and tool applied to the canvas is mixing pixels, not changing vectors.
Every format that GIMP exports in is some sort of bitmap. Although it has a semi-functional paths tool, the only way to use the paths you draw is to convert them to a selection, making them raster! Hopefully this changes at some point; non-destructive editing and better path tools will make a lot of art much, much easier. Until then, Inkscape is completely vector-based. If you're looking for a free vector program, I'd use this instead.
Hope that explains things.
