Hi,

I have a slight issue with making an interactive pdf file. I haven't made any before so i don't have too much knowledge about it. Simply i have a map with multiple layers exported from ArcGis Pro.  I want to make an interactive pdf from this file so the reader is able press a button on the file that will turn a layer off and on. The current feature only allows me to show one layer and will turn the others off. I want the reader to turn multiple layers on and off at the same time. How can i do this?

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

    You can do it using this code:

     

     

     

    var layerToShow = "Layer1";
var ocgArray = doc.getOCGs();
for (var i=0; i<ocgArray.length; i++)  {
	if (ocgArray[i].name==layerToShow) {
		ocgArray[i].state=!ocgArray[i].state;
		break;
	}
}

     

     

    Edited: Removed incorrect return command.

    Hi thanks for your quick response. I managed to make it work using the command i found from a video. 

    The command is the follwing:

    var docOCGs = this.getOCGs();
    for (var i=0; i < docOCGs.length; i++)
    {
    if(docOCGs[i].name == "Text")
    {
    docOCGs[i].state = !docOCGs[i].state;
    }
    }
