User Guide
Note: The settings in the Layer Properties dialog box take effect only if Allow Layer State To Be Set By User Information
is selected in the Documents preferences. If it is not selected, Layer Properties dialog box settings, other than Layer Name
and Default State, are ignored.
1 Click the Layers button in the navigation pane.
2 Select a layer, and choose Layer Properties from the Options menu.
3 In the Layer Properties dialog box, edit the layer name or any of the following properties, and then click OK:
Default State Defines the initial visibility state of the layer when a document is first opened or when the initial
visibility is reset. The eye icons for layers are initially shown or hidden based on this value. For example, if this value
is set to off, the eye icon for a layer is hidden when the document is first opened or when Reset To Initial Visibility
is chosen from the Options menu.
Intent Select View to allow the layer to be turned on or off, or select Reference to keep the layer on at all times and
permit editing of the properties. When the Reference Intent option is selected, the layer appears in italics.
Visibility Defines the on-screen visibility of the PDF layer. You can show a layer when the document is opened, you
can hide a layer when the document is opened, or you can let the default state determine whether a layer is shown
or hidden when the document is opened.
Print Determines whether a layer will print.
Export Determines whether the layer appears in the resulting document when the PDF file is exported to an appli­
cation or file format that supports layers.
Any additional properties that the creator of the layered PDF has associated with a specific layer are shown in the
box at the bottom of the Layer Properties dialog box.
Add layer navigation

bookmark or link.
