I'm able to export the top layer to pdf using gimp, but unable to get the second layer to be the second page. Watched a lot of tutorials and not sure how to get gimp to save the multiple layers as multiple pages.

here are my layers

but when I export this I only get a pdf of one layer

I don't think 2.8 supports that natively - see for example How can I export a PDF from GIMP with each layer on a new page - there used to be a couple of 3rd party plugins, but I'm not clear what happened to them after the old registry went offline – steeldriver Mar 05 '19 at 22:48
do you know of any plugins that will do this? – Sean Malter Mar 05 '19 at 23:24

Not personally - a bit of googling finds this gimp-forum thread - there's a link to a zip of a plugin in the first reply. Otherwise, your option is to upgrade to 2.10 I think – steeldriver Mar 05 '19 at 23:57
@steeldriver just upgraded and it worked!! if you wanna suggest it I will mark as a fix and upvote :) – Sean Malter Mar 06 '19 at 18:39
Glad that worked for you - I think we should mark it as a duplicate instead since that's one of the solutions proposed on the linked thread. You can upvote the answer there – steeldriver Mar 06 '19 at 18:44
