      Hello. I need to create an interactive PDF with check boxes and buttons that would change visibility of the layers. The concept is to make dynamic scheme, where the user can choose options from the check boxes and the picture will change accordingly to his needs. The scheme before was drawn in Autocad program and made with blocks( each block has his own layer). After dwg drawing was printed in PDF with layers. So when I import pdf into Indesign I see that one pdf with all layers. The question in that, is it possible with check boxes to change visibility of the layers for that pdf in Indesign and how is better to do that?
      Thanks a lot.

      No, checkboxes cannot hide/show objects. Only buttons can do that. But you might be able to do it with a combination of buttons that look like checkboxes.

      Thank you David for the answer.But is it possible to transfer all layers from pdf to Indesign. As I understood to make buttons with hide/show options the objects should be in the layers of Indesign?
