Save layer state on close

Hi

I have a relatively complicated form that is using buttons to show/hide multiple layers.

Everything is working well, but I am trying to find a way for the layer visibility state to be saved when the file is saved, so that when the PDF is next opened the layers are still in the same state.

Is this possible?

You will have to save the layer state in e.g. a hidden form field and then restore it again from that hidden field the next time the document is opened. There is nothing built into Acrobat that would do this for you.
