Dewi Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 As it says above, keep the document's layer structure when the file is exported to pdf format. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John V Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hi, is the feature available at this point? I have v1.4 installed from the App store and I'm trying also from the 1.4.1 beta2 Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Our PDF Export now includes named layers if the PDF level supports it (that is, > 1.4). They become optional content. We don't currently export hidden layers, and it is just Layer objects and not groups, so not all the structure is preserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ok, thank you but I can't make it working. Here is the problem, I have to send a PDF to a company that user Illustrator CC to open the file and they need to see the separated layers. I gave a name to the layers and tried exporting the file going to "export persona" and choosing "PDF for export", "for print" and all the "X" (I tried almost any setting there). When I open the file with AD the layers are still there with their names but in Illustrator they show up as a single "flattened" layer.

Dave Harris Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 That is a limitation of Illustrator. If you open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and look at the Layers pane, you should see the layers (and be able to hide and show them). If this doesn't work, then something is wrong with Designer and we can look into it. If it does work, then it's Illustrator that is refusing to recognise the layers.

John V Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ok Dave, I'm trying with Acrobat Pro and it works, I can correctly see all the layers and their names. Unfortunately Illustrator is not as collaborative... good to know, though. Thanks a lot for your explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
