I read the recent posts on multipage pdf with interest. I was wondering if there is any way to generate multiple layer (single page) pdf files from Inkscape. It seems through tests that this isn't possible and all svg layers end up as one pdf layer.
Can anyone offer suggestions on turning a multilayer svg into a multilayer pdf?

I am not aware that PDFs have layers. SVG does not. Inkscape emulates layers with groups. I'm not sure what advantage layers would have in PDFs.

No -
I really mean multilayer PDF (It's been in the pdf spec since 6.0)
Here is example survey maps with layers in the zip: http://www.centremapslive.co.uk/files/bgs50k_enlarged_sample-f7dd7c41.zip

If you mean converting a multilayered svg file in a multipage pdf This topic was discussed back in November.
Try using the JessyInk extension. Although intended to prepare presentation material, it does allow the user to save their work in a zip file that will contain a pdf or png file for each layer. Look in the file save as menu, for the JessyInk zipped entry. You can then combine the multiple pdf files into one pdf document.

JessyInk's zipped PDF/PNG export does in fact work, however, it appears that ALL layered objects have to be confined within the page border. Anything outside gets clipped...which makes total sense if one is working on a presentation. Also, the exporter grabs the whole page rather than the objects on an individual layer. A large page border containing dozens of layers (say logos) would look a bit chaotic on the export (big page, small artwork). Perhaps Hannes can chime in if I'm doing something wrong or maybe there's a simple workaround. I'm already 4 beers into this evening so maybe I'm not thinking clearly. ;)
