Layer Selection and Layer Toggle Don't Work When Editing a Placed PDF

[Hangman]

When editing a placed pdf there are a couple of issues:

• Select All (Designer and Publisher) doesn't highlight any layers in the layers panel
• Toggle Visibility doesn't hide/show any layers
• Changing the colour of an item isn't reflected on the canvas but is in the layers panel
