The question could be, What OS do you use ? Gimp 2.10.18 can imply an older linux maybe ubuntu 18 or Mint 20. You could possibly update Gimp but might not be worth the effort if Gimp 2.10.18 works.
PDF's
Gimp does not make good PDF's Any vector images and embedded text are converted to a bit map, one big picture. During the conversion if the pdf text font is missing then it is replaced and the document looks different. LibreOffice (LO) is a bit better, text remains as editable text but that font replacement frequently happens.
When that happens try and identify the font used and install it. In linux put it in ~/.fonts and both Gimp and LO can use it. In linux both Evince and Okular give font details in the PDF properties.
Just my opinion. Split the document into separate pages. Edit the page you want. Recombine the pages into one document. In linux I use PDFchain which is GUI also use command line PDFTK sometimes. There are Windows equivalents.
