PDF Layer Manager allows you to view and manage Optional Content Groups (OCG) in your PDF documents. OCG layers are used in technical drawings, maps, and complex documents to organize content into toggleable layers.
View all layers in your PDF, toggle their visibility, add new layers, delete unwanted ones, or rename existing layers. This tool is essential for working with layered PDFs like architectural plans, CAD exports, and print-ready documents.
All processing happens locally in your browser, ensuring your documents remain private and secure.
Upload a PDF file that contains layers (OCG) or one you want to add layers to.
The tool automatically lists all layers found in the document with their visibility status.
Toggle layer visibility, rename layers, add new ones, or delete unwanted layers.
Download your modified PDF with the layer changes applied.
Manage layers in CAD exports to show/hide dimensions, annotations, or different views.
Toggle different map layers like topography, roads, and labels for custom map prints.
Prepare layered PDFs for printing by toggling appropriate layers for different versions.
Optional Content Groups (OCG) are layers in a PDF that can be shown or hidden. They are commonly used in CAD drawings, maps, and complex documents.
Not all PDFs contain layers. Layers are typically added during PDF creation from design software or CAD applications.
Layer visibility changes only affect what is displayed or printed. The actual content remains in the document.
