You can do that in cairo using cairo_copy_page() or cairo_show_page().

See http://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-cairo-t.html#cairo-copy-page
and http://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-cairo-t.html#cairo-show-page

Unfortunately I cannot find any short sample that uses them...
I hope the documentation is sufficient

(The simplest reference I can provide is:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/tree/test/multi-page.c#n106
)
