About This Tool

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.

Use Cases

Technical Drawings

Manage layers in CAD exports to show/hide dimensions, annotations, or different views.

Map Editing

Toggle different map layers like topography, roads, and labels for custom map prints.

Print Preparation

Prepare layered PDFs for printing by toggling appropriate layers for different versions.
