How to Add New Layers to a PDF in Acrobat

I have Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, and I am trying to create new layers in a PDF document, however I cannot find an option to do this. There seems to be no button within the 'tools' or 'edit' tab that will allow me to add a new layer to a PDF. Is this because I need the Pro version of Adobe Acrobat? Or am I missing something?

It's possible this is a Pro only feature, yes.

Do you see a Layers option when you right-click the left hand side panel of the window?

Hi, thanks for the response.

Yes, there is a Layers tab in the sidebar, and I can see and toggle existing layers on/off, however there seems to be no option for me to add layers.

Click the Options button at the top of the bar. There should be an "Import as Layer" command there...
