PDF export multi-page?

[Greg Titus]

Marc,

Niels describes the reasons why things work the way they do very  
well. However, if what you do want is to generate a PDF that is  
paginated the same way it would be for printing (i.e. large canvases  
split into multiple pages), you can hit cmd-P to bring up the print  
panel, and choose "Save As PDF..." from the PDF menu there.

Hope this helps,
	- Greg
