To create a multi page PDF document in GIMP is harder than it should be, but non the less possible. For this trick you will need the ImageMagick convert tool. Open the PDF file you intend to edit, or create a xcf file with multiple layers intended as pages. Reverse the order of the layers so that the last page you want in your document is the first top-most layer. Export the document ( Ctl+Shift+E) to a.mng file. Finally use the convert command to change your.mng to.pdf convert test.mng test.pdf Oh and if the file size is bloated up as GIMP usually does remember that you can using this nifty trick.

(That's postscript.) Then convert the.ps file to.pdf via the ps2pdf terminal command, i.e.: ps2pdf example.ps example.pdf ps2pdf is part of the GhostScript package, versions should be available for most operating systems. Get data back ntfs serial number.
Easy as in all-gui on Windows: Install PDFCreator, and 'print' your image to PDF - this will appear as an option when you select a printer from the ones installed on the system. I believe MAC systems can natively print to PDF, but don't quote me on that.:o) Steve.

Um, on second thought, I have been playing with this and it is giving me cat fits. The GIMP's Postscript files are fine, but apparently ps2pdf, at least the version installed on my system, does not like 'arbitrary' dimensions, and gives me an image cropped as IT dang well pleases as a pdf output. So, here's another e-z gui option, probably better than any I suggested earlier: Save your image as a.png file. Open it with Inkscape, making sure the 'embed' option is selected.
Do a Save As, select the PDF format, name the output file with the correct extension, and hit the go button. This should work on all platforms. If it does not, make sure you have GhostScript installed - you also need it to import.pdf files to the GIMP. If you do not already have Inkscape, congratulations, now you can play with vector files! Don't miss Inkscape's File Import from Open Clip Art Library command - tons of free images that are flexible and adaptable in every sense of the word.:o) Steve.

Assuming you are on a GNU/Linux™ system and are using CUPS to manage your printers, (1) File-Print (2) in the list of printers, at the top, choose Print to File (3) make sure PDF is selected as the format. GIMP will not reliably open the image again if yuo save it as pdf; for re-opening purpose, save in GIMP's native xcf format; you can save space by using.xcf.gz as the file extension, which will compress it.
If you want to place the image on the page using Illustrator, save (export) it to Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). If you want to place the image on the page in Inkscape, use PNG format, which is lossless as far as detail is concerned, but does not preserve text layers as text. If you want something else, be more precise with your question, and remember many people on this list have never actually seen Adobe PhotoShop.
