Making PDF
#6
Some ways for that borderless paged pdf. The old script  sg-save-pdf-multi-210.scm in the attached  zip (with another script for exporting layers-to-images if needed) these go in your user scripts folder.

The problem with the script is you need to have each image individually open, a multi-layer is no good.  15 images / pages, just about manageable, more than that - up to you.

However, to start off, open your images as layers, then Image -> Fit Canvas to Layers and that fixes any truncated layers, no scaling involved, no borders added and regularizes the dpi.   

Then either drag each layer  into the toolbox to open as a new image, or export all of them then re-open as individual images.

sg-save-pdf-multi-210.scm registers in File -> Create -> Export  Multi-page PDF  Add the open images in the required order.

I did look at using LibreOffice or Scribus but these do add the border you do not want.

Finally, an alternative, not Gimp, ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org can take a folder of jpg images and make a much smaller PDF than Gimp. Worth considering.
