@doctormo @eobet I would love more easy editing of PDF documents, such as dragging and dropping a PDF into Inkscape, easily choose if you want the background to be transparent or white, then easily drag and drop a PNG into one of the pages, position it and export the result as a proper PDF again. Last time I tried this, it wasn't intuitive and I switched to Affinity Designer.

Oh, sorry about that. Everything you've mentioned should be pretty much like that.

Though PDFs either have a background shape or don't. It only makes sense to select one on opening for raster images, rather than vector images.

What was the version you were last using?

@doctormo I used a reasonably new version, about a few months ago. Don't know the details anymore, but I remember getting the multi-page canvas after importing a PDF, then a dropped PNG got lost under hundreds of vector layers in one of the pages, and I believe adding a white layer to the transparent background also failed because of the layer mess.

Maybe auto-grouping of the vector layers of each imported page would help.
