Alright. There's one more thing that I want to show you here with layers inside Acrobat. I'm done with the Advanced Editing Toolbar so I'm going to close out of him and I'm going to zoom out on my PDF file here. The last thing that I want to show you is how to import another file into your PDF file as a layer. So in other words, I don't want to add on extra pages, which you saw way, way back, but I actually want to stack another file on top of the current page. It's pretty cool stuff. So how do you pull this off? Well, inside the Layers Panel, inside Acrobat, I'm going to pop open this menu and I'm going to go and choose Import as Layer. Now, the dialog box that appears is huge. In fact it's so huge that it's getting cut off by my capture area, which is too bad here. But you'll see the full dialog box on your screen. So I'm going to start off here way up in the top left corner; Source. I'm going to click on Browse and I'm going to go and find the file that I want to use as my layer. I've got a file here inside my Module 13 Folder called Layer Import. So I'm going to go and choose him and then I'll click on Select and inside this Preview Window, over on the right-hand side I can see the JPEG that I just imported as a layer into my file and he looks like a watermark; just a great big hunk of text that reads Confidential. Now, there's something very cool I want to show you with this here but before we get to all that, I'm going to go over to the left side of this dialog box. I want to show you a couple of things here. First of all, inside the Import Options area here it says Create New Layer. You've got to give your new layer a name here. So I'm simply going to call this guy Watermark. OK. And it also asks me if I want to add this guy to a layer group or not. You may recall earlier that all of my layers were contained inside a group that was named after my InDesign file. So what the heck. I'll add my new layer into my InDesign Layout Group there and then down towards the bottom here we have Positioning. I can rotate this guy if I want. I can scale him. Maybe I'll scale him down just a little bit. Maybe I'll scale him down to about 95 percent there. I can also move him vertically and horizontally. You can actually shift this guy around a little bit. Now, I'm happy with the positioning of my layer but you may want to mess around a little bit with repositioning the layer inside your PDF file. What I do want to do though is I do want to adjust the opacity of my new layer. In other words, I want to fade him back just a little bit, something like this. Maybe in and around 25 percent looks good to me. Alright, that's great. So go ahead and click on OK or here myself I'm going to hit Enter on my keyboard and that drops in the layer into my PDF file. Inside my layers panel I'm going to twist open that InDesign Group and there's my Watermark layer right there. And as you saw before with the other layers, I can turn this guy on and I can shut him off, just like that. Pretty cool. Now, there's something extra I want to show you here as well. I want to set it up so that this layer only appears when someone tries to print the file. In other words, if they're viewing the PDF file on screen, it would look like this. If they go to print the file, it would look like that. OK. So here's how to do it. I'm going to select my Watermark layer inside the Layers Panel. I'm going to right click on him and head down to Properties. Inside my Layer Properties Dialog Box I want to make sure that the default state of this layer is off. So I don't want to have him turned On by default. And then where I have the Initial State Area, Visibility, I want to say Never Visible and then where it says Print, I want to say Always Prints. Wonderful. OK. I'm going to click on OK and then I'm going to make sure that this layer, this Watermark layer is turned Off. Let's see if this actually works here. I'm going to collapse my Layers Panel up here and then I'll go and choose File and then Print. And sure enough, inside my little preview area I can see the Watermark layer show up. So there he is inside the Print Dialog Box. So if I were actually going to print this file off, I would get the watermark but, of course, back down inside the PDF when viewing on screen I don't see the layer. So there's a look at layers inside Acrobat. I hope you learned lots and again, I hope you can apply a lot of this to the files that you're going to be working on.
