PDF Layers

PDF layers allow documents to have content placed either above or below other content within the document. Individual layers within a PDF can be displayed or hidden by the user if needed. Each layer can also have it's own set of comments associated with them that can be assigned to another layer or even flatten to the current layer. PDF Studio supports the following layer functions:
