Re: [Inkscape-user] printing layers as pages of a PDF file?
I couldn't install the python extension because of some incompatible char*/char-casts in the swig code. Besid ethat, I was searching for some easier way. I really think that inkscape needs a page-concept--possibly based on layers.
Well, Python is the easiest route. The stock answer to your posts will be "You want it, you code it."
I don't know why your install failed, did you compile from source? I'm on Kubuntu Dapper and found the .package file to be all I needed.

My system is from source. The problem is related to a GCC-sensibility, nothing else.
I'm not a C++ coder and will not become one. So inkscape will lack good text-layout support. I feel deeply sorry for that... ;)

Well, one reason Inkscape doesn't support pages is that SVG 1.1 simply doesn't support them. SVG 1.2 does, but since that's still a work in progress I can see why Inkscape doesn't support it yet. But since multi-page documents are probably pretty popular I'm pretty confident someone will add it sooner or later.

I didn't even know about page support in SVG 1.2. As said, one can easily simulate pages with a new layer-selection method. Pages are just like layers, only when they are selected the other pages are set to invisible. This inverter-function could be provided as an option beside simple, single-layer selection.
just an idea...

Possibly I should better call the method in use additive (like OR) and the method I wished excluse (like XOR)
