Export to PDF spoils image

Screenshot more than 500KB? You can get an estimate of jpeg size when exporting as: https://i.imgur.com/6DDjJqI.jpg Tick the show preview button and pull the slider down.

Or are you using a HD monitor?

Regardless, what size is the image in pixels? How many layers does the .xcf contain?

Can you (1) export the image as a png, check that it is ok then (2) use command line Imagemagick to make the pdf as:

Code:
convert image.png  -density 300 image.pdf

Thanks for your reply. Converting to png then to pdf works, thank you.

I'd still like to know why converting from xcf to pdf with GIMP doesn't work properly though.

In answer to your questions, the xcf image has 14 layers and its size is 5055 x 3078 pixels.

The xcf and pdf files may be viewed here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wwcb31hyl4ml1...Ua7Wa?dl=0
