The sort of thing you would rather hope software could do automatically. Text was made into Type Layers (you can see its font name, font size, color etc.). You should see the graphics of the PDF file in front of you, one page next to another. As I pointed out there, it is rather laborious. Open a PDF file from your computer: click File - Open (in the top left corner), then find and select the PSD file (or use drag and drop). That is what I was describing as our current approach in my question. Click Browse and select two or more Photoshop-compatible images.

With Photoshop open, select File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack from the toolbar. Instead, we can use the image stack feature to open our images in Photoshop. Oh, and yes, you are right that it is possible to manually save multiple pdfs out of autocad, each one having different layers visible, then reassemble them within Photoshop to re-create the layered structure. Open Multiple Images as Layers in the Same Document. Which seems a little daft given that Adobe make Photoshop and are the originators of the pdf format.

What it seems I cannot do is to ask Photoshop to import that structured pdf file and keep the layered structure.

When you install acrobat it creates a little menu bar add-on inside autocad for creating pdfs, and an option within that allows preservation of layer information. I can switch visibility of the pdfs layers on and off within Acrobat.Īctually, you have been able to do this since about 2006 if you have both acrobat professional and autocad. So, for instance, I can have all the trees on a CAD layer and they appear on a separate pdf layer. Var doc = (,, , newFile, NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.Autocad 2010/11 does indeed produce pdfs with a mapping of cad layers to pdf layers. Var orig_display_dialogs = app.displayDialogs Īpp.lerUnits = Units.PIXELS // set the ruler units to PIXELSĪpp.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO // Set Dialogs off If (documents.length >= 2) Īpp.togglePalettes() // toggle on palettesĪlert("multiple Document are not open in Photoshop")

bring application forward for double-click eventsĪpp.togglePalettes() // toggle off palettes so Photoshop will not need to update them #target photoshop // this command only works in Photoshop CS2 and higher The PDF with layering capabilities will open as a regular Photoshop file and include all the layers. enable double-clicking from Mac Finder or Windows Explorer If you used Photoshop to save a document as a PDF and preserved the layering capabilities, you can open the document in Photoshop on another computer. The author accepts no liability for any problems arising from its use. Stack the open Document Visible layer composite into a new 300 DPI document It is taxing and will take time but can be automated into a single layer document from all the document opened,
