PDF export multi-page?

[Niels Meersschaert]

The reason for that occurring under a single canvas is that a "page"  
in that context is dependent on the printer & paper chosen at that  
moment & only affects producing a hard copy & thus aren't part of the  
document information.  Giving the file to someone else who might have  
a different paper/printer combo would create issues if page breaks &  
page size were presumed, and also, not everyone prints.  If you want  
to separate out information onto logical pages (electronic), the  
multiple canvases option is the proper solution.  This has the added  
benefit of also working when printing to physical pages.
