    Posted: 12 Jan 21 at 3:46PM
Hello everyone!
I am using QuickPDF V18 under a trial license.
I am trying to combine several PDF files into one. These PDF files have layers. When merging, the layers remain only in the first file, the layers disappear in the rest. Is there some way to fix this?
I will be grateful to everyone!

Hi Sergey,

"combine" is the key ;-)
After Load of each pdf try...
NormalizePage:
https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/NormalizePage.php
CombineContentStreams:
https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/CombineContentStreams.php
...and then do the concatenation of the files.

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Thank you so much Ingo, for your answer!

My mistake is that I wrote "Layers". After reading the documentation, I realized that the correct term is OCG (Optional Content Groups)


I need to save OCG in each of the merged PDFs.  Content stream manipulation doesn't help. Probably need to work directly with OSG . But there is no combination function for OCG . Maybe there is a solution for this OCG probleml?

Try this search:
https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/Search.php
...and insert OCG in the search field.
The search result will be large enough - perhaps there's something which feed your needs.

Cheers,
Ingo

Regarding OCG you'll find a lot of interesting informations inside the developer guide...

The problem is that the MergeFileList is being used.
At the same time, it is impossible to do something with the files before merging.
And for reference, the described "combine" commands do not fix it at all.
After merging the layers are only on the first page, they are lost on the rest.
So I am not using new versions yet, there are no useful fixes.
