write on a pdf

[Brian Cluff]

You have to repeat the same process for every page in your PDF and then 
set the page number of the PDF to import in the image preferences.

Far from ideal, but good for some things in a pinch.

You can also load PDFs visually perfect into the GIMP, but then you will 
truly be out of the vector world all together... but again, good for 
some things in a pinch.
