Hide / Unhide pages

Post by enaef »

Hi
Would ISO allow to hide / unhide certain pages in a pdf?

Hello Erns,

I am nos sure this is included in the specification at all, but you could simply delete or remove the pages you do not need save the shorter version of the file as a separate copy and then only work with the needed file (e.g. to distribute different versions to different users).

Best,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan
I was aware of the possibility to delete pages and have it saved separately.
Nonetheless in certain circumstances a hide/unhide function would make sense (similar to the power-point function).

Sorry Ernst,

I just did check the PDF specification and the only Hide occurrences were in relation to annotations, so unfortunately hiding/revealing of pages is not mentioned in the specification at all.

Best,
Stefan
