Print layers
Normally, when you print a PDF that contains layers, just the content that is visible on-screen is printed. However,
the creator of a layered PDF 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 Preview image in the Print
dialog box always shows the page as it will print.
Note: To work with layers in Acrobat, convert the source document to PDF using a preset that preserves layers, such
Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) or later.
