Flatten Layers

[cornaki]

Hello There

Appreciate any input anyone might have

I am trying to automate some tasks i do frequently and one of those is FLATTEN  LAYERS

when i click on the layers tab on the left and select FLATTEN LAYERS from the drop down it works perfectly

But whe i click 'flatten visible layers' in the preflight window it does absolutely nothing

i'm confused.......

Thanks

Dave

It's working for me in Acrobat DC.

Sometimes you need to close and re-open the PDF for an accurate view. Check for updates.

I must be doing something wrong, but i don't understand how...it's one button

I have tried using different files, and on 3 different computers last night...all to no success

I am clicking discard hidden layers and flatten visible layers in preflight single fixes, and......nothing

????

Wish i could add a file to show

What version of Acrobat are you using? Did you check for updates?

[cornaki]

I did not do updates

but like i said, i have used 3 computers, i am sure they have different versions of the updates

and i am using acrobat X pro

thanks

Acrobat X is old and out of support, but at least do updates. Preflight and the layers palette will use different code.

You are right

somehow all my computers had acrobat 10 and now i have downloaded DC and it works perfectly..how strange

Any chance you could help my other issue with the same fiel (still not working in DC)

it is to convert 0,0,0,100 to 30,30,30,100

I have a forum about it...followed another users instruction to the tea....doesn't work
