Hidden Layers
My site has hidden layers that function with side navigation
bar links so that you can show different iframes within the same
window of one page. The iframes show in the various hidden layers
that are shown when you click on their corresponding side nav tab.
The problem is that once you click on one of the side nav
links to show a layer, they will disapear when you roll over any of
the top navigation bars, which use the same extention to make a
drop down menu,
Here is an example:
http://webdemo.camba.org/pages/developmentdept.htm
If you click on "contact," the correct layer appears, but if
you move your mouse to the top of the page, say to the search bar,
the contact layer disappears again.
Can anyone remedy this? I'm sure it has to do with the
extention but I am not sure how to fix it.
Thanks!

your approach is flawed. If you're using an iframe, there is
no point in using layers to hide the
iframes. iFrames are meant to load different content
depending on what you click on in the main page.
Instead of hiding layers, you should just have one visible
iframe, and load different content
targetting this single iframe when you click on the
navigation.
Then, your problem will desappear. But if you don;t want to
do that, the problem you're describing
is probably due to the fact that you're using the same id or
variable name in the function call to
show-hide your layers on the menu and the layers that contain
the iframes.
Look at your code. Look at the javascript attached to your
links, and you'll find the answer.

How do I export to PDF in InDesign without the hidden layers
Hi there
This is probably a simple solution but I am trying to export a document to PDF in InDesign without the hidden layers.
i.e - I have created a document that includes images etc from an existing PDF.
When I open the new PDF and use the 'find' tool, Pro is highlighting words on the hidden (original pdf).
I have tried exporting only the visible layers but is there a setting in InDesign that I can use to export only the visible content to pdf?
Thanks in advance.Jenjimay wrote:

Even if you mask off part of a PDF, or place a white rectange on top of it, the text will still be selectable. Other than with raster images, InDesign is not smart enough to clip off parts of a PDF (or rather, it's smart enough to leave them as they are). PDFs can contain incredibly complex objects, and any clipping routine would probably make as many mistakes as it solves problems.
Introduce a small Transparency to this image or one on top of it, then export with Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) settings. Since that old version does not support native transparency, ID is forced to redraw the image, and then it will clip off excess data. -
QuickLook / Preview and PDFs with hidden layers
Hidden layers in PDF files show up in preview, quicklook and in the generated thumbnails. Is there any known fix for this to get the content to render with only the visible layers?
It would help to look at a sample. Can you post one?
Also, check the "Show Large Images" Page Display preference. -
Does Safari support interactive PDFs with layers? Through the use of hidden layers and buttons we built in interactivity that allows the viewers to click on buttons to display different content. When I view the PDF in Safari 5.0.3 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 the PDF displays fine and the interactivity works. However our web design firm tell me the PDF displays all the hidden layers when they view it in Safari. Who's right?
Try updating your Safari to the latest version, 5.0.5.
Also check whether the rest of your system is up to date by going to Software Update in the Apple menu. -
How do I Reveal/Hide Hidden Layers for viewing with Acrobat Reader (iPad)?
Hi,
I've created a document in Quark Xpress with multiple layers which I then exported to a PDF. Using Acrobat Pro I created hotspots which revealed/hid these layers on rollover. It works perfectly on the desktop version of Acrobat Reader but not on Acrobat Reader for iPad (where the hidden layers are automatically switched on and touching the hotspots does not hide them). Does anybody know a good work around to this?There are many features which are possible in the desktop version of Adobe Reader which won't work in Reader for tablets. I think this is one of them. Probably no workaround possible until the feature is updated.

Why are my hidden layers showing up in a PDF when i convert it from an Ai file?
When I convert an illustrator file to a PDF the hidden layers are showing up when openned by a mac or iphone. This does not happen when i send it to people with a pc and is only happening to one person. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
Thank you.That's probably because the Mac people are opening or viewing the PDFs within the Mac's "Mail" program or with the "Preview" program and not with Acrobat.
Since the Windows people aren't using these programs and most likely just Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the layers are kept hidden.
I'm afraid the only way to truly keep those layers hidden is to delete them before saving your file as a PDF. (Of course, do a "Save As" and keep your original .ai file intact. -
How to set the number of hidden layers for neural network?
I am using "Multiclass Neural Network" to build a model. I can configure number of hidden nodes, iterations etc., but I couldn't find anything to configure number of hidden layers. How to configure the number of hidden layers in Azure ML?
Here is the article describing it - https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/e8b401fb-230a-4b21-bd11-d1fda0d57c1f?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Basically, you will have to use a custom definition script in Net# (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/machine-learning-azure-ml-netsharp-reference-guide/)
to create hidden layers and nodes per hidden layer -
Uploaded page does not correctly display hidden layers
Hi,
I am a bit baffled by this as I haven't seen this in all my
years using Dreamweaver.
I have created a few links, that when rolled over they
display a hidden layer that contains a styled table of contents (No
links in the tables).
This works perfectly as expected on my testing server, but
when it is uploaded to the client webserver, the hidden layers
display below each link, throwing the page out completely, and also
the CSS style does not apply.
Is there something on the clients webserver that needs to be
changed or tweeked to recognise hidden layers, CSS etc?
CheersAre the layers actually hidden in the code? I mean when you
look at the
code view of the page (either in the CSS or the inline styles
for the
layers, depending on what DW version you are using), do you
see -
visibility:hidden
or -
visibility:visible
Which?

Applescript: missing required parameter "including hidden layers"
I've used this script (below) for packaging files in InDesign CS3, but when I upgraded to CS4 I always get this message: "Missing required parameter 'including hidden layers' for event 'package'." Does anyone know how to include this and where it goes?
Thanks.
on run
display dialog "Whoa Dude, I'm a Droplet so drop an InDesign file on me"
end run
on open draggedItems
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "Macintosh HD:Users:Melanie:Documents:ScriptFiles:Packaged:" with properties {name:"_Folder"}
end tell
set folderPath to "Macintosh HD:Users:Melanie:Documents:ScriptFiles:Packaged:_Folder:"
repeat with currentFile in draggedItems
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set openedfile to open (currentFile as alias)
set theDoc to (document 1)
tell document 1
package to folderPath copying fonts yes copying linked graphics yes copying profiles no updating graphics yes ignore preflight errors yes creating report yes
set fileName to (name of theDoc)
set filepath to folderPath & fileName & ".pdf"
export openedfile format "Adobe PDF" to filepath using "[Smallest File Size]"
save openedfile
close openedfile
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set NewName to fileName & "_Folder"
set name of folder folderPath to NewName
end tell
end tell
end repeat
end open
---------I don't use InDesign/CS4, but it seems clear that the 'package' command now has additional parameters that you're not including in the command.
Since it's telling you that 'including hidden layers' is the parameter that's missing, just append it to the packagecommand, with either a 'yes' or a 'no' depending on what you want:
package to folderPath copying fonts yes copying linked graphics yes copying profiles no updating graphics yes ignore preflight errors yes creating report yes including hidden layers no -
Hidden layers get PDFed anyway
Hello all,
I've been meaning to ask this for a while now:
Whenever I hide InDesign layers; then Export to a PDF; and choose Visible Layers (in the General options); and finish up and OK the producing of the PDF; the dialog immediately warns me that stuff from hidden layers will be in the PDF anyway! Sure enought there is!
Why?
Also, is there a way in Acrobat 8 or 9 Pro to remove an entire layer (OCG, in Acrobat-speak) along with its objects all at once?
I can't find it if it does this.
Mike Witherell in MarylandThe world's spun a few times since then Peter. I'm trying to think back.
I had a raft of buttons on a separate layer forming an index (call these buttons B). I could turn this layer on using a
button (call this button A) on the page in view, and a button on the index layer (call this button C) could then hide it
again.
The PDF was exported with all layers.
The visibility or otherwise was determined by the button options - visible in PDF or hidden.
So button A which turned on the raft of buttons forming the index was set to visible, but all the buttons on the index
raft (buttons B and C) were set to hidden. Mouse down of button A had the behaviour to show each of buttons B and button
C and hide button A - you have to list each event separately in the actions attributed to each button.
Mouse down of button C then hid buttons B and C and showed button A.
The crux I think is what you can define as a "field" for the purposes of the Button Option menu > Behaviors > Behavior >
Show/Hide Fields. I was defining buttons as fields. I can't remember/never knew whether you could define a layer as a
field. I think probably not, and you would have to make the contents of a layer a single button or selection of buttons
and then define them initially as visible or not visible in the PDF.

I found a tutorial on ( www.comeandphotoshop.com/animated-neon-sign/ ) and followed it up to the point of animation. The effect worked fine but it involved stroking outlines then hidding the layer and creating a new layer and adding the effects to the new layer. So far so good everything looks great. Problem is when I flatten the layer to send out to web as a jpeg I get a box that says flattening will disguard all hidden layers. This looses some of the effect. Can you get past the deleation of hidden layers or is there another way to keep all effects? I need to save my hidden layers but can't keep them visible or once again it ruins the effect.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
ChuckAgain.
When you flatten, ALL layers are discarded. Flattened images don't have Layers, by definition. Any layer that had the visibility turned off will have no effect on the way the image looks whether it's flattened or not.
Are you looking at this at 100%? Something else must be going on.
Maybe what you mean by "turned off" is different than what I think. Are you clicking on the eyeball? Are you setting the Fill Opacity to zero perhaps (which is what I would do)? -
I wish, I wish for a javascript that would check my open document for hidden layers and delete them, thats all.
Thank you,
RichardHello try67 and thank you very much for the script.
It works well but not at 100%.
As an example:
If I have a InDesign file with 20 hidden layers. The script will delete 10, then when double-clicked again 5 more will be gone, do it again and 2 more will be deleted, so the run command needs to be repeated until all hidden layers are gone.
I cannot find any particular pattern as to the way layers are deleted and what prompt the script to stop, but I am sure there is one.
If you find out why please let me know, in the mean time this sure beats: selecting layers, right click, select delete layers, click yes, wait...
Thanks again,
Richard -
Flash CS3
Under 'Publish Settings' I have 'export hidden layers'
checked.
But every time I paste something from Fireworks, 'export
hidden layers' unchecks itself.
This behavior may also be triggered by other actions.
Is there a solution to this problem?
I have only been able to confirm the bug on the great www -
no solutions :(
Also if anyone has triggered this behavior in other ways,
please post here (let's get smart).I'm having the same problem. This is a constant frustration for the other developer working with me & I don't quite understand why the program defaults to doing this. How do you submit bugs to Adobe?

I am trying to make an action (that is using some scripts) that will delete hidden layers. When I try and action that in photoshop, the actions stops for an error if the file didn't have any hidden layers. I think I need to script it so it will delete the hidden layers, and keep going if there aen't any.
I couldnt find anything in th ejavascript ref guide for doing this. ( I'm sure I was looking right at it, I am a noob).
Thanks for any help you can give.Here is a script to will delete hidden layers but not throw an error is there are no hidden layers.
try{
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), stringIDToTypeID( "hidden" ) );
desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Dlt " ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
}catch(e){}
Note you could also do this with just actions steps. Have the action add a layer then hide it before the delete hidden layers menu item step. That way there would always be at least one hidden layer and no error. -
I often have things on a layer that I don't want to see while
I'm working on another layer and frequently testing and tweaking
and I used to just have those hidden in the timeline and they would
publish. And if I didn't want a layer to publish, I'd make it a
guide. In CS3 it seems that those hidden layers won't publish
(though at times I've had them publish for me in certain files, but
I don't know why).
Is there a setting I can choose to make hidden fields publish
like they did prior to CS3?In the publish settings you can select "export hidden layers"
,,, I catch myself doing the same thing you are used to...lol. Id
hide layers and forget that I selected not to export hidden layers
and think I broke something.
