In reply to perojohn. I'm replying a couple of years late, but maybe it'll help someone anyway. I've found that converting a pdf to a jpg looks MUCH better when using GIMP instead of the ImageMagick terminal command. I'm actually saving spreadsheets as pdf, then converting the pdf to jpg. ImageMagick/command leaves ugly lines at the edges, while GIMP has a much cleaner look.

It’s pretty awesome now GIMP can save the multiple layers as multiple pages.

‘Export as’, file extension pdf, then tick both ‘layers as pages’ ‘to reverse the order of the pages.

It’s now my number one tool for annotating pdfs, especially useful for student texts.

I've been converting PDFs to JPGs for a while via GIMP, but I have been importing the PDFs as images, not as layers. Does it make any difference in the end result?

I use this feature quite a lot, opened your article in case there is some useful new tip. Like in the case of a PDF with multiple pages, imported as layers, an easy way to export each layer as a separate image.
