Put them into different layers?
When PDFs are multiple pages, I think it would be an unusual case for each page to be a layer.
I'd rather import each to a different document, or at least have the option to do so.
Unfortunately we don't have the freedom that Adobe did when making the PDF format. We have to work within the SVG spec, which as far as I know, does not have the ability to store multiple pages in one document (perhaps using viewboxes could accomplish this). For example, we currently achieve "Layers" with the clever use of groups, but it's transparent to the user. I do agree that the option to import to more than one document would be handy though.
