Adding Layers to a PDF

This process adds a blank layer to the active PDF. This layer will be completely empty.

1. Select the Layers panel.
2. Select one of the following options from the Add Layer menu on the Layers panel toolbar:
   • Add Before: Creates a new layer before the selected layer. If no layer is selected, the new layer is added to the top of the layers list.
   • Add After; Creates a new layer after the selected layer (default). If no layer is selected, the new layer is added to the bottom of the layers list.
   • Add Child: Creates a new layer as a child of the selected layer. If no layer is selected, this option is not available.
3. Enter a name for the layer and click OK.

To assign markups to an existing layer, simply CTRL-click the desired markup or, in the case of multiple markups, multi-select them and CTRL-click one of them, then go to Layer and select the desired Layer.

Note: If you flatten a markup that is associated with a layer, it will flatten to that layer.
