Hi there!
I've tried to open this topic here in Gimp 2.10 but I'm not allowed to start a thread there so, now I'm here.
I'm a newbie in Gimp!
I've read and watch many videos about using gimp and I'm happy so far.
Now I wanted to open an existing PDF. This works. I've created 3 groups, because my already existing PDF has 3 pages in it. So every group has a site in it. (a pdf site is handled by gimp as a "picture" ... so far I know ... and that's ok so far)
To this: In each group I have a bunch auf text layers.
Everything looks fine and looks like it should be!
Now I'm going to export as... pdf ... aaaand ... it's a desaster!
Gimp creates not only all groups as a site (what it should, actually) but also all layers, too!
In gimp everything looks great and correct, all layers are "on" the picture in every group itself... but when I export all groups every single layer is created as a site in the exported single pdf document. So I have now one PDF file with lots of lots of layers as sites. Stupid, I guess. *laugh*
Now: What did I wrong?
I mean, look at the end of this video! He can do it, but not me! *sigh* (I've not reproduced his video, I just start with an already existing PDF (an official form for a public authority)
Thank you very much for helping me out of my pdf desaster. ^.^
