layers acquire the properties of the target layer. Once you have merged layers, you cannot restore the original layers. You can also flatten the layers in a PDF document, consolidating all the visible layers. When you flatten a layered PDF document, Acrobat does not preserve content that is hidden or layers that are not visible. Once you have flattened layers, you cannot restore the original layers. You can edit content in a layered PDF file just as you would in any other PDF document. The selection tools recognize and select any content that is visible, regardless of whether the content is on a selected layer. Normally, when you print a PDF document that contains layers, only the content that is visible on screen prints. However, the creator of a layered PDF document can make exceptions-for example, stipulating that layered watermarks must print or confidential information must not print-regardless of its visibility on screen. If the document is designed to print differently from the way it currently appears on screen, a warning message appears in the Print dialog box. The thumbnail view of the page in the Print dialog box always shows the page as it will print. Note: Not all RIPs support layered PDF files. When you print the PDF file directly to a RIP that doesn't support layered PDF files, all layers may print, including hidden layers. To change print overrides for a layer: 1. Click the Layers tab. 2. Select a layer and then choose Layer Properties from the Options menu. 3. In the Layer Properties dialog box, choose one of the following from the Print menu: • Always Prints forces the layer to print. • Never Prints forces the layer not to print. • Prints When Visible matches printed output to on screen visibility.
