I made a PDF document from ArcGis and i have to publish it.

This document contain 3 layers.
I would save the document with unvisible layer. And allow the user to active it in AdobeReader

Is it possible? if yes, what i have to do?

(sorry for my english)

Thanks

You can associate your layer visibility with bookmarks (or destinations) so users can activate them in Reader.

Here are the steps (taken from Acrobat Help):

1. Set the required layer properties, visibility, and magnification level for the target PDF layer in the document pane.
2. Click the Bookmarks button, and choose New Bookmark from the Options menu.
3. Select the new bookmark, and choose Properties from the Options menu.
In the Bookmark Properties dialog box, click the Actions tab.
4. For Select Action, choose Set Layer Visibility, click Add, and then click OK.
5. Select the bookmark label in the Bookmarks panel, and name the bookmark.
