An example PDF with layers
There are no layers in that file document. (Assuming that by layers you mean Optional Content Groups, which is the only feature of PDF similar to what you are describing). (In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #2) > There are no layers in that file document.

Whoops, looks like I exported for 1.4 compatibility, which doesn't support layers. Sorry for the noise! |
Created attachment 181833 [details] A screenshot of Inkscape's layer view panel. SUMMARY In other PDF viewers, it is possible to view PDF layers. This is important in print / digital proofing workflows, where one layer might contain a dieline for cutting and creasing, another may show an image to be printed, and another might show areas to be glued. Specifics: -------------------------------------------------------------------- * A tree-style diagram in the sidebar that shows layer names and hierarchy (see attachment) * Layer visibility can be toggled by clicking on an icon beside the layer name Bonus feature that would also be very useful: -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Ability to toggle whether or not a layer will be printed
