    The need is to make a multi-page pdf but the print preview shows up small on one page.

    How do we make a multi-page pdf in Inkscape? And can we see the page breaks in the editing process?

    Thank you kindly,

    Pretty much the same and the 3 pages are in 1 PDF:

    That is not what I see. I am using Inkscape on Linux Ubuntu. I was looking in Document Properties for a view with page breaks. Are you able to edit around the page breaks or do you have to do trial and error to see how the page breaks?

    I don´t understand what you´re asking for. The PDF attachment above is the result displayed in the document. Please check the attached PDF.

    I'm guessing OP is using a non-development/alpha version, which doesn't support multiple pages (implemented for 1.2-dev)

    How does this thread even makes sense without dev1.2? Just asking.

    Another more probably possibility: maybe OP is using the Export dialog? https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/6609

    People don't always (or usually) use the correct terminology for things. I admit the language makes more sense with 1.2, but I don't think any comment unambiguously confirms it, which is something I look of for from the bug report side (though even then, some users just post incorrect info).

    The crucial/important infos are missing in 80% of the cases imho. Who reads this I may ask: https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/get-good-answers-here/

    and start a thread with: "my Inkscape broke. What shall I do?"

    And while you´re here: Why we can´t upload images in the chats anymore?

    Martin (or Jabier or Marc if it's just rocketchat) may be able to help with the uploads. I don't know anything about web server stuff (or have access to it). It's happening to me too. (sorry for the noise Axelrodde! I suppose any answer here is going to create some noise).

    Whereas it is the responsibility of the OP to provide the pertinent info, it is also the responsibility of the respondent to first ask for it if they don't. (Unless of course, you enjoy wasting your time.)
