For PDF files including layer information, versioning can be set and sections can be created.
PDF files including layer information are supported from PDF version 1.5 (Acrobat 6). The layers in a PDF file are stored in an object format called OCG (Optional Content Groups), which includes information on whether to show or hide the layers.
When you generate Finished PDF/X, the layer information of the source document is discarded.
The versioning setting results can be checked in 2D Viewer.
Use [Versioning] pane of the job settings to specify layer output for each workflow item (product) or change layer settings for a section or a page.
Check the layer settings of the source document before you start.
Outputting a layered source document for which the versioning settings have not been configured may lead to unintended output results such as all data of the several layers being output together on a layer.
