About PDF layers
Acrobat supports viewing, navigating, and printing layered content in PDFs created from applications such as
InDesign, AutoCAD, and Visio.
You can control the display of layers using the default and initial state settings. For example, if your document
contains a copyright notice, you can easily hide the layer containing that notice whenever the document is displayed
on-screen while ensuring that the layer always prints.
Show or hide layers
Information can be stored on different layers of a PDF. The layers that appear in the PDF are based on the layers
created in the original application. You cannot create layers in Acrobat; however, you can examine layers and show
or hide the content associated with each layer using the Layers panel in the navigation pane. Items on locked layers
cannot be hidden.
Note: A Lock icon in the Layers panel indicates that a layer is for information only. The locked layer's visibility cannot
be changed.
