I'm tired of building a PDF from layers manually so I finally got around to scripting it. This requires "convert" from ImageMagick to be installed. It has been tested on Linux(Ubuntu).

improved new version available
I have wrote new version. Where I can upload it?
No answers?
OK,
I have created new thread with new plugin "Export Layers to single multiple pages PDF"
OS X: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
On GIMP 2.6.11 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion, I get this error (and additionally, the dialog seems odd in that it forces me to pick a file name from a file browser, when what I wish to do is save the file as a new file):

Does this script work at all?
I put this script in the ~/.gimp-2.6/scripts folder and restarted gimp but there were no scripts listed (in either the python-fu or script-fu consoles) by any names I could think of such as "export_layers_pdf" or "python-fu-export-pdf" etc...
I also tried placing this script in the ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder but still no luck at locating the script or any menu item for it from within gimp.
Has any one been able to figure out how to run this script from within gimp? If so, did it work and how did you get it to show up inside gimp so that you could run it?
Linux or Windows?
If Linux, you need to give the py file permission to execute.
Did it still have the .txt extension when you uploaded it to the plug-ins folder?
Shows under File - Export Layers - As PDF
There is a reason to use ImageMagick ?
There is a reason to use ImageMagick instead then Ghostscript ?
I get a temp file error in Windows XP

I noticed the file is associated with XnView.I tried to re-associate it with Imagemagick but got another error.
