Export as... PDF goes totally wrong!

Leastways you could reproduce my "mistake" and I'm not guilty. Hahaha.

Any number of bug reports typically: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/4564
..but it seems to be a function of the cairo rendering library used and outside the Gimp developers scope.

Truthfully, Gimp makes awful PDF's. Over large file size because of the internal format used and if you do keep text as a layer, beware the font metrics are not saved with the PDF. Defaults are used if the font is not available.

Yes that is the way to go, another is new from visible and use those layers to aggregate the multi-page PDF.
