FM->PDF Layers

[Shlomo Perets]

I am developing a new TimeSavers Assistant which supports PDF layers (aka 
"Optional Content Groups") and would appreciate your 
input/feedback/suggestions.

Using the new Layer Assistant, FrameMaker text can be assigned to specific 
layers through its color properties (regular body text) or through 
hypertext markers (custom text).
In addition, JPEG images (referenced through hypertext markers) can be 
defined as belonging to different layers.

Related hypertext markers define links/bookmarks/page actions which control 
layer visibility, including show/hide a specific layer (exclusive or 
additive), show/hide all layers, show next/previous layer.

Sample PDFs demonstrating current possibilities are available at

(Acrobat/Reader 7 required).
