Refer to this article to create layered PDF in C#. It has details to set the IDE, a list of steps, and sample code demonstrating how to create layers in Adobe Acrobat using C#. A few options will be discussed to customize the properties of the layers generated in the PDF.

Steps to Add Layers to PDF in C#

1. Set the environment to use Aspose.PDF for .NET to add PDF layers
2. Set the license for the product to avail complete product features
3. Create a new empty PDF document
4. Add a blank PDF page to the new document
5. Create two layers on the page by setting different names
6. Write some sample text on the first layer
7. Write another text on the second layer
8. For each text, draw it on the page first and move that drawing to the target layer
9. This text will be shown only when this layer is visible
10. Save the output PDF file with layers

These steps describe how to create layers in PDF in C#. Create an empty PDF file, add a PDF page, create a layer with an ID and name, and call a routine for adding contents to the layer. Create a text fragment, draw it on the page and move the drawing to the target layer so that the text is shown only when the layer is visible.

Code to Create Acrobat Layers in C#

This code demonstrates how to create a layered PDF in C#. You can set distinct foreground/background color for each layer, lock the layer to avoid accidental editing, and may flatten any layer, if required. If you want to export an individual layer as a separate PDF, call the save method in the Layer class so that not all the layers are copied to the output PDF.
