    Add levels to your PDFs
     
    told the local gezondheidsherstellingsmiddelentezamenmengingskundige that you can create levels in Acrobat 6 PDF files by doing this:

    MicroStation V8.5 - Open pdf.plt with any text based editor
    Locate the section specific to evels and remove the semi-colon (;) in front of the second line.
    Add a semi-colon (;) in front of the third line.

    Then locate the section specific to the PDF version and ensure that there is no semicolon in front of the first line.

    Remember, if you're editing this file via the Print dialog, you'll have to reload the driver for the changes to take effect.

     

    MicroStation V8i - edit pdf.pltcfg and navigate to the Driver Properties section.  Then set Enable optional Content  to on.
