Placed PDF with Layers - can layers be maintained and exported in a new PDF?

Can a layered PDF placed in InDesign include these layers in the InDesign Layers Panel? I have a layered PDF created in Illustrator CS4. I'm placing it in InDesign CS4 6.0.4 and want to export a PDF with the layers in tact from Illy. I use the Show Import Options dialog box and can see all of the layers in the layers tab. I tried both options for update links so that choice seems unimportant. I only see one layer, Layer 1, in the InDesign layers panel after placing the PDF. I was expecting to see all of the layers from the placed PDF. I exported as Acrobat 6 with Create Acrobat Layers checked but the only layer in the exported PDF is Layer 1. I searched and read for quite some time and can’t figure it out. Maybe I’m expecting something that isn’t possible but it sounds like it should be. I tried placing it as a native AI file with the same results. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks to Bob and Peter. I understand what you said. It seems as though the ability to place a file with layers should allow you to take advantage of it better. This is a map that will allow users to turn on or off various points of interest, hotels, etc. Now I realize I can at least control them from the place dialog box so, other than having to place the same map multiple times I end up with what I wanted. Thanks for the soultions.

    Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do a repair for less, though of course it depends on what's wrong with it. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further support from Apple will be voided.
    The iPhone 3G is pretty old now by smartphone standards, though, so you might want to consider putting your money toward a new, or at least newer, iPhone rather than spending to repair your current unit.
    Regards.

    The Nano cannot connect to iCloud to download iMatch songs, playlists, etc. and iMatch is only for music you own it does not work with Nike plus.

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

  • I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's

    I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's. When I export a qt from Premiere with audio it will not play on a pc only a mac. After extensive research I have narrowed down the problem to this: if you use the inspector in quicktime it looks like this
    DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    I have to run it thru AE to make it look like this....then it plays
    DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    SOOOO the problem is the Little/Big Endian. I googled that and it looks like a file/bit structure....anyone know how/why to change it in Premiere? Because everytime I make a movie in Prem I have to drag the sequence into AE and render it there so the sounds works.....
    thanks

    Two questions:
    1. What CODEC are you choosing when exporting on the Mac?
    2. Do you have any Blackmagic hardware/software installed?

    Hi ...
    Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
    Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you have problems resetting, use the email form here >   Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

    After the uproar from Users about Standard being little more than Apple's Print to PDF; there hasn't been a Standard version for Mac since version 6. So many people were use the features in Acrobat 5  to create Forms that could be filled out by Reader. when the bought 6 Standard they were ready to hang the CEO of Adobe in effigy. When 7 came out is was Pro only.
    I'm confused.
    The current version of Acrobat comes in Standard, Pro, and Extended Pro versions. Only the Pro version is on the Mac. But that doesn't mean that the Mac community wouldn't have wanted the Standard version of Acrobat.
    The Standard version is hardly a mimic of Apple's Save to PDF. The most important features of Standard is to enable Rights in Reader as well as add comments, form fields. etc.
    The only thing that Standard does do are the pre-press and production features of Pro.
    However, given the difference in price ($450 vs. $300) there is ample reason for business on the Mac OS to buy Standard--if they could buy it.
    I didn't say PC users.
    I should have said Mac users. Because the Print system and sytem by which Mac users view anything is based on the PDF engine. The Mac sytem can do anything Standard Standrd could do. although in order to placate Adobe the pdf engine used is a version or two behind. If the Mac OS could do everything Acrobat could do there would be no reason for Adobe to provide Acrobat Or Reader for Mac.
    And you basing your assumption of what Standard can do a PC. Standard on Mac is basically Mac's Print to PDF  wrapped in an Adobe Package. It shad no ability to confer rights to reader (that didn't come to Acrobat Mac until Version 8) and was unable to to create forms. The current version of Acrobat PC comes as Standard, Pro, And extended. There never has and never will be an extended pro version for Mac (that adds the ability to create XML based forms) They don't have the interest. To adobe is little more than a Play toy. Because Windows has so much clout They can dictate what they want. Apple not so much. One advantage Mac does have is that Forms creator is built in. on PC its an adon (it free but an addon or was).
    Now back in OS 9 days and Acrobat 5.x Acrobat for Mac and PC were equal. except to have the print press features Mac users had to pay an addition $200.00.  (It exactly as you described in your last sentence - except Acrobat 5.x without the printpress and The Acrobat 5 without Print press was $299.00 and $499.00 with Print press.) I know I've used Acrobat since version 3.

  • How can I toggle back and forth from a main pdf to its attachments?

    I have a main document that I created in word and inserted hypertext to either link to 1) websites 2) a series of appendices, 3) 6 large format pdf maps or 3) a series of reference documents.
    In Word, I have everything in a thumbdrive directory with the main file and three folders holding the individual files of the maps, appendices and references. All the links work but the file can't be copied to another drive without redoing all the links to the files (there are about 40 files all together).
    I saved the word main document as a pdf. All the auxiliary files are also pdfs. All the weblinks came through in the pdf of the main document but the links to files need to be re-established.
    1. I tried to create an acrobat portfolio with the main file and the folders of maps, references and appendices but I can't seem to make links in the main document to open up specific files in the folders.
    2. I compiled all the files together into a binder and tried to use bookmarks to link the main part of the document to the first page of the 40 supporting files but at 700 pages the document is just too cumbersome to recreate the ~100 bookmarks I would need to add.
    3. I tried adding everything as attachments and created links but once the link is activated from the main document and the new window opens, the main document has closed up. I need the reader to be able to toggle back and forth between the screen with the main document and the supporting documents.
    What I am trying to create is one main document with links to the maps, appendices and references that will open a new window when each link is activated. Then the new window can be closed and the reader is back at the screen of the main document on the page with the link they just used.
    This doesn't seem to me like it should be difficult since it almost works in Word except for the file structure.
    I would really appreciate any guidance on how to make this work. The document and supporting files have already taken more than a year to put together and I'm stuck at this last step.

    I think that the number of clicks to open a file is a rather shortsighted way to compare two operating systems.<<</div>
    Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse ME!
    I happen to think it's a pain to click twice on files when I'm used to clicking just once.
    But Tiger is a nice operating system. I enjoy that it has much more capabilities than the OS9. I mean, Tiger keeps up with the advancing internet. My beef is really against OS9. I can open OS9 in Tiger but not Tiger in OS9.
