Hello again,
Back with yet another question. I'm having trouble with GIMP and adding reg. marks to multi-layer PDFs. For example, I will pull up Okumarts Orc Tribe on GIMP, import it from PDF, set it to 300 dpi, and hit import. It only shows one PDF when choosing what to import. I was thinking I'd be able to grab each individual PDF and print different colors/bonus materials off. Is it that GIMP simply can't do what I want it to?
Thanks!

Pretty much, I usually set up the page the way I want it, and print it to pdf. On this computer I do it with Microsoft Print to Pdf, on my other computer, I use CutePDF.
Once you figure out what you want, then you can use Gimp to combine different color guys onto the same page, but if you are using a cutter, you need to make sure that things are in exactly the same place on the page, because the cutter has instructions for cutting out the original file, not the modified file. It takes a bit of care to make sure no errors get included in your modified file

I was afraid of that! Not a problem though. Thanks.

If you are trying to import a multi-layer pdf into GIMP, my workaround is this: - Open the original PDF in Acrobat Reader
- If it's a multi-page PDF, go to the page you want to print
- Set the layers on that page to visible/invisible, as desired
- From Acrobat Reader, open the print dialog box. From the printer selection, choose "Microsoft Print to PDF". This will produce a single-page, single-layer PDF with only the layers you want visible.
- Import that single-page, single-layer into GIMP in the standard way (be sure to set it to 300dpi, as always).
If I understand the original problem correctly, this should produce the result you're looking for.
