All visible objects and layers in the document are exported. If you want to limit export to a single layer or object, you can now (in 0.47) do that by specifying the id of the object.

Important wish for my part : for the moment I must open my SVG in Scribus to save it to PDF with layers.

BUT :
 - must re-create layers in Scribus before moving groups to each one
 - some SVG information not supported in Scribus (example bad render of some text : I convert them to path in Inkscape before importing to Scribus, but my PDF file change from 300 Ko to nearly 5 Mo...)

My need for layers in PDF is related to another wish (and I made a different demand) : "Javascript in PDF"
Javascript in SVG is great feature I use to more interact with final user, giving the ability to activate or not layers in the document. Unfortunately it works well in FireFox, Chromium, Opera but (of course :o) not in Internet Explorer... But I can't impose every body to use good browsers ! As PDF accept Javascript too it would be fine to keep the javascripts events when exporting to PDF.

Thanks for all.
