Layers Acrobat 6.0 and later support layers. Both InDesign and Illustrator can create layered PDF files, which can be useful for managing multiple versions of content. Click the eyeball icon to control the visibility of a layer, and check the layer options to control printing of layers. To merge layers, choose Merge Layers from the Options pop-up menu at the top of the Layers pane. To view layers in a PDF document: 1. Click the Layers tab or choose View > Navigation Tabs > Layers. Note that the "eyeball" visibility icon is not the only influence over whether a layer prints. In the Layers panel, select a layer and choose Options > Layer Properties to determine whether a layer is set to print. 2. Click the eye icon to hide a layer's content, or click the empty box to display a layer's content. This setting temporarily overrides the settings in the Layer Properties dialog box. 3. From the Options menu on the Layers tab, choose one of the following options: • List Layers For All Pages: Shows every layer across every page of the document. • List Layers For Current Page: Shows layers only on the currently visible page. • Reset To Initial Visibility: Resets layers to their default state (as saved in the original file). • Apply Layer Overrides: Displays all layers, regardless of the settings in the Layer Properties dialog box. You must first turn off this command before you can click the eye icon to hide a layer. You can edit layer properties in the Layer Properties dialog box, but changes (except changes to the layer name) do not take effect until you choose Options > Reset To Initial Visibility. Note: You cannot save the view of a layered PDF file that you create by using the eye icon on the Layers tab to show or hide layers. When you save the file, the visibility of the layers automatically reverts to the initial visibility state. If you want to save a different view of a layered PDF file, you must change the default state of the layers in the Layer Properties dialog box. To edit layer properties, choose Layer Properties from the Options menu in the Layers tab. You can rename layers and set the default initial visibility, print, and export states. You can combine the default state setting, the visibility settings, and the print setting to control when a layer is visible and when it prints. If a layer contains a watermark, for example, you may want the layer to be invisible on screen but always print and export to other applications. The layer does not need to be listed in the Layers tab, because Acrobat handles all the state changes automatically. Note: A locked icon in the Layers tab indicates that a layer is for information only. You can't change the visibility of a locked layer; the only property you can change is its name. To merge one or more layers in a PDF document, choose Merge Layers from the Option menu in the Layers tab, and then specify the target layer into which they merge. Merged

Layers
Acrobat 6°0 and later support layers° Both InDesign
and Illustrator can create layered PDF files, which can
be useful for managing multiple versions of content°
Click the eyeball icon to control the visibility of a
layer, and check the layer options to control printing
of layers° To merge layers, choose Merge Layers from
the Options pop-up menu at the top of the Layers
pane°
To view layers in a PDF document:
1. Click the Layers tab or choose View > Navigation Tabs > Layers. Note that the “eye-
ball” visibility icon is not the only influence over whether a layer prints. In the Layers
panel, select a layer and choose Options > Layer Properties to determine whether a
layer is set to print.
2. Click the eye icon to hide a layer’s content, or click the empty box to display a layer’s
content. °is setting temporarily overrides the settings in the Layer Properties dialog
box.
3. From the Options menu on the Layers tab, choose one of the following options:
•
List Layers For All Pages: Shows every layer across every page of the
document.
•
List Layers For Current Page: Shows layers only on the currently visible
page.
•
Reset To Initial Visibility: Resets layers to their default state (as saved in the
original file).
•
Apply Layer Overrides: Displays all layers, regardless of the settings in
the Layer Properties dialog box. You must first turn off this command
before you can click the eye icon to hide a layer. You can edit layer proper-
ties in the Layer Properties dialog box, but changes (except changes to the
layer name) do not take effect until you choose Options > Reset To Initial
Visibility.
Note:
You cannot save the view of a layered PDF file that you create by using the eye icon
on the Layers tab to show or hide layers. When you save the file, the visibility of the layers
automatically reverts to the initial visibility state. If you want to save a different view of
a layered PDF file, you must change the default state of the layers in the Layer Properties
dialog box.
To edit layer properties, choose Layer Properties from the Options menu in the Layers
tab. You can rename layers and set the default initial visibility, print, and export states.
You can combine the default state setting, the visibility settings, and the print setting
to control when a layer is visible and when it prints. If a layer contains a watermark, for
example, you may want the layer to be invisible on screen but always print and export
to other applications. °e layer does not need to be listed in the Layers tab, because
Acrobat handles all the state changes automatically.
Note:
A locked icon in the Layers tab indicates that a layer is for information only. You
can’t change the visibility of a locked layer; the only property you can change is its name.
To merge one or more layers in a PDF document, choose Merge Layers from the Option
menu in the Layers tab, and then specify the target layer into which they merge. Merged
