Hello
 
Is there a way through scripts to automatically combine user specified (or from a txt file) layers from inside a layered pdf 1.5 file.
 
I am trying to use this for version control wherein one pdf file could contail all the different revisions/versions to cater different market segments
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

Please take a look at this article

Layers are like overlaping transparencies. Any common content will need to be aligned properly between the layers or things will look funny.

Good Luck,
