hi all sorry, but I repost this since there were no further answers...
------------------------------------------------ in my case this would be quite clear: I'd like to have all layers that appear in any source document copied to the target document (with the same visibility settings). if a layer name appears in multiple documents, the contents of all the same named layers should be merged together in the target document under the same layer name. the visibility should be "visible" if any of the merged layers with the same name is visible in its source document. so I know what to do, how can I do this? and what do you mean with "The layers themselves are already copied"? is this already implemented in itext? thanks a lot stefan Paulo Soares wrote: > > The problem is how to conciliate the various ways to control the layers > > and the layer's names that are present in different documents.
