PDF Manipulation

[scetcher]

Newbie, patience requested.
I have a PDF sheet of aircraft decals. It is A3 size and I would like to take individual parts from it, keeping the scale, to fit onto an A4 sheet for watersliding.
I have tried cropping the parts and repasting them, but I cannot remove them from the complete sheet.
Is specific area removal from a PDF possible in Gimp 2.10 please.

Once loaded in Gimp, a PDF is a plain image, there is nothing special about it.

What do you mean by "I cannot remove them from the complete sheet"? You want to remove the background around the parts?

Also if you want accurate dimensions, some pitfalls are explained here. When you load a PDF, the print definition is settable int he input dialog

Thank you. I simply solved my problem by using Inkscape. Probably just my inexperience with Gimp.
