PDF Import Does Not support new layer creation

[admiralmcsassy]

Describe the bug
When I import the PDF linked, i see this import page:

I assume the Create New Layers toggle allows the current layers in the pdf to be preserved in the resulting import, which is great and what I would like, but there ends up with nothing imported as paths

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
please teach me how to import a pdf that is spread over several pages in the original file as a stitched together pdf that preserves the original layers so that i dont have to use pdf stitcher or whatevevr else. (I think the pdf imports as a complete path, or at least it looks like it does, but i just want to make sure.)

Expected behavior
import with create new layers preserveing the original pdf's layers, but with all the pages stitched together into a path that the laser can cut efficiently.

Thank you for opening the issue! Could you attach the PDF? This import was changed substantially for the upcoming release 1.5 and I would like to test if the problem still persists.

The UI also has been made more clear for the next release:

ill send it directly to you instead of posting it here publicly, since its a paid pattern

Great, Thank you.

I tested the import with latest main and it imports fine for me. So I suspect you are still running the older Rayforge 1.3.2 or 1.4?

Anything else I can do? Or can the issue be closed?

(Also note that 1.6 is now out, which includes memory consumption improvements for the PDF importer, and also update notifications.)
