convert gimp files into pdf - gimpcam - 04-13-2019

Hi everyone,

Im a student and i tried to edit a 120 pages pdf in gimp. Once i did it, i had 120 layers that i need to save as pdf, and then use an other software to merge the 120 pdf. I was wondering if its possible to save the whole layers in one unique pdf in one save, because saving the layers as pdf one by one is sooo long.

If you are using Gimp 2.10 then the facility to export as a multi-page pdf is already there:

Why not give us a clue and state your computer OS (Win / OSX / linux) and version of Gimp.

im using gimp 2.0, but i have a problem. When i click on export as pdf, the little window appears, but i just can't click on layers as pages!

i achieved to export the different layers as one pdf in one save, but there is still a problem, the edits are not saved. Thx for your responses

Must be Gimp 2.10.x then. What exactly were the edits you made? Can you post a Gimp .xcf file with maybe one or two of the pages?

What is your operating system?
