Multi-Page PDF (GIMP 2.10) - Cyrus - 06-13-2018
I saw that in 1.8 you could "Create" a multi-page PDF, but in this version I do not see this option.
I see that after selecting Export as PDF, it gives you the option to make multiple pages, but only with Layers.
I have a lot of text and images Layers in one XCF, so I don't think I can do this with Layers unless I export each page as a single image, but then I anticipate a drop in quality.
Should I just look for a third-party application that merges PDFs? Or is there a GIMP tool/option I am missing?
(I'm not renting Acrobat just for this purpose... I do not like Adobe and I don't want to give them money)

If you have the text and image(s) in layer groups then exporting as a PDF (with layers enabled) will produce a single page for each layer group. You should be able to re-work your existing .xcf. Create layer groups and drag the relevant layers in.

Otherwise, for separate images the old Gimp 2.8 script re-worked for Gimp 2.10 is here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-To-print-a-card-on-both-sides-of-a-sheet
If you have lots of individual PDF files then for many years I use PDFsam, https://pdfsam.org/ but it is a java application.
An alternative for several PDF is command line ImageMagick with a command like
Code:
magick -density 300 1.pdf 2.pdf a-third.pdf final-combined.pdfRE: Multi-Page PDF (GIMP 2.10) - Cyrus - 06-13-2018
