Would be very useful to have a "Export project to PDF" command, maybe with a popup for selecting options about the PDF like:

A good reason to include multipage export (especially PDF) it in ST is that it's a very common operation that is done (at the moment manually) at the end of the images editing with ST. I guess >90% of the users do it, since there is no much point in keeping separated images, probably result of a scanned book or from a PDF produced by a scanning machine (would be useful a PDF import function too, actually) whose destiny will be a digitalized book and the most obvious (and standard de facto) format is PDF. It's a pity that ST doesn't integrate the 2 easiest steps of the process (the first with scanning or importing a PDF, the last exporting in PDF), after handling the most complex ones. I mean "easiest" using other tools already installed or easy to integrate, at least.

Although I use "convert *.tif img.pdf" (Linux OS) if time is short, two things could be done:

  1. convert can be added as extra depency and new button added;
  2. New functionality and new button added to the code.

Shortcuts, shortcuts. :)
