afpub, where I moved some images from above the existing master layer inside the master layer: But this will not affect any layer created individually on certain pages inside this master layer.Ĭompare this detail of the OP's sample. You can not hide a master layer on all pages, you only can hide the containing layers on the master page. Although you may nest these new objects inside the master layer (after detaching) on the individual document page and get them locked this way like master objects they in fact aren't 'real' master page objects (they don't show the orange stripe in the layers panel). In case your question has an emphasize on "to begin with": If you create the objects on the individual document pages exterior of the master layer then the initially requested goal of this topic to show/hide all those layers with 1-click on all pages doesn't work.Īlso you can't create these objects inside a master layer on that page to make use of the show/hide 1-click on the master page because those individual objects don't appear on the master page. If you want to turn it on or off in all pages, you put it in a Master Page, and you apply the Master Page to all pages, and you turn it on or off on the Master Page, rather than using Edit Detached or Edit Linked on individual document pages. That is why Virginia's final + only question to the forum was the conclusion:
What advantage does it make if I can switch a layer on/off with a click if it requires a bunch of clicks before to enable me using this single on/off click. Walt, it doesn't make sense to argue in your way repeatedly, just ignoring what Global layers are meant for and what cumbersome workflow Master layers require. Hiding a master page layer is not the same like hiding a global layer (what Virginia actually referred to) – although both ways do hide layers, as closing or deleting do, too. Another 1-click way to make a layer disappear would be to close the document or to delete the layer. One operation, no "asking for permission". Turn them off on the Master and they are off on all pages you've applied the Master to. Except that Virgina started out by saying (with my emphasis) "I would like to be able to switch on or off (as in Adobe) a category of layers (example: images) for all the pages, not page by page."įor that specific use case, Layers on Master Pages should work fine.
