Saving a copy of a PDF with selected layers only

Post by gonefishing777 »

Dear Tracker Software Team.

If a pdf plan has multiple layers (say an architects drawing) that can be turned on and off, how do I save a copy of that pdf with only the layers I have checked/i want to view.?

Currently I am turning the layers on/off, extracting the page and saving a copy. The saved copy, copies and displays all layers, so back to square 1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! (apologies if this is a basic question, or has already been address previously).

On a separate matter, as a future build request would it be possible to have different fill types for drawn objects (square circle, area, perimeter etc) such a vertical/horizontal /diagonal/hatched line, incorporating different colours for those fill types?

Many thanks

P.

Hello,

In order for you to achieve that, you have to set these options in the Layers Properties pane:

Your request will be forwarded to our developers for consideration and implementation.
