Shortcut for Acrobat DC Layers ON/OFF | MAC OS

Question

Hello everyone,I have a question regarding the Acrobt DC. Is there a way to assign the manual setting of layer visibility in a PDF as a shortcut? Attached is the menu I am talking about.It does not necessarily have to be a shortcut, it can also be via the automator etc., for example.Since I have to do this step very often during the day (show / hide layers) this would be a great help.best regards André

If you know the name of the layer, then yes, you can do it using a script, which can be executed via a Custom Command with a single click. For example, to make the "Background" layer hidden by default use this code:

var ocgArray = this.getOCGs();
if (ocgArray!=null) {
	for (var i=0; i<ocgArray.length; i++)  {
		if (ocgArray[i].name=="Background") {
			ocgArray[i].initState=false;
			break;
		}
	}
}
