Printing documents with layers

Normally, when you print an Adobe PDF document that contains layers, just the content

that is visible on-screen is printed. However, the creator of a layered PDF document can

specify that some layered content, such as watermarks or confidential information, must

(or must not) print, regardless of its visibility on-screen. If the document is designed to

print differently from how it currently appears on-screen, a message may appear in the

Print dialog box. The thumbnail view of the page in the Print dialog box always shows the

page as it will print.

To view a document exactly as it will print:

1. Click the Layers tab, or choose View > Navigation Tabs > Layers.

2. Choose Apply Print Overrides from the Options menu.

Note: Depending on the visibility settings specified when the PDF file was created, Apply

Print Overrides may be unavailable in the Options menu.

To change print overrides for a layer:

1. Click the Layers tab, or choose View > Navigation Tabs > Layers.

2. Select a layer, and then select Layer Properties from the Options menu.

3. In the Layer Properties dialog box, choose one of the following from the Print pop-up

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.
