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 http://www.microtype.com/ShowcaseLayerAsst.html (Acrobat/Reader 7 required).
