However, layers are on ly available when we're using compatibility of acrobats six or higher now, when we're saving us from illustrator it's automatically going to give us this, but we save this room in design, it doesn't, it just gives you a gray box that you can't click on until you make the compatibility six or higher, so I'm going to save the pdf and we'll close out of this file here and there is my fish layers and they open it up in acrobat and there it isthe so I'm gonna go to my layers pain right here and there it is there is my layer one there is my layer to okay great so why your layers useful? Well layers are going to make the pdf file that larger but what happens if you had very specific printing instructions here that you wanted somebody to look at or you give a pdf and there's instructions on that pdf of how to use this so you have a layer that overlays the whole thing and we could actually create a button that when they're done reading all the directions they can click this button which will then hi delayer pretty cool, huh? She gets something the instructions were built in in order to start you should read the instructions on that layer you press this button and action says hi this layer the layer goes away and you have this you're like well, this is awesome fantastic another way that we can do this and this is really fun to close this out and I'm going to go in here and I'm going to call up my fish began here but I'm not save that I just I didn't say that did I know I say to this big layered pdf so open that up an illustrator right there and there's my layered pdf time to do a third thing here. Those are all top level like there's because we could have layers within layers and illustrator, but in this case, I want to create acrobat layers. Just, you know, I'm gonna say this as a pdf file so we can go right to a pdf like like save, and I can go ahead and preserve the illustrator editing capabilities create acrobat layers from top level layers, which means top level layers or anything that we see here. We can see that because of the different colored bounding boxes right there, very simple rendition of this, so I'm going to go on, I'm going to save this file and I'm just going to call this layers has nothing to do with it.

We'll create a new layer, but it right there and there it is.

So I'm gonna put this on a new layer right here. Ross an acrobat and so I've got my fish right here I'm going to call up my layers panel and I may want to put some text on here no, I don't want to do it in there when I do it in here there it is. So I'm going to show you all about layers here and you probably didn't know about all these layers in adobe application acrobat so layers right here are on the left hand panel right here and you can right click on the left hand panel for your pains and call a players here and what you call a players in almost every single pdf you will find that there are none you're right, you're like, ok, so what good are layers if there are none? Well, I don't know, but I think I'm gonna show you all right, so we're getting getting the layers here and I'm just going to show you the basics of layers and how they could work get everything out of the way here I'm gonna start off with something really simple I'm just going to go into illustrator and show you a few things with layers so let's these by name get my istock they're going to call it my fish right here so layers you can actually translate layers from other adobe applications if you create something with layers, you can have those layers come ac.
