I could replicate this manual export process relatively easily programmatically This is to export each of the pre-configured Visio pages one at a time and then use Acrobat to combine the exported pages afterwards, retaining layers. It looks like my scenario where I need multiple individually ‘layered’ instead of flattened pages exported in one fell swoop was never considered. Unfortunately, as far as I can figure out, this is the way the PDFMaker The visible layer configuration of page 1 is copied to all following pages in

The exported PDF has all layers visible on all 3 exported pages. When exporting any of the pages after the first page, the layers in those subsequent pages are displayed as per the settings of the first page in the Visio document.ģ30 layers visible (yes 330!), page 2 has 100 layers visible, page 3 has 30 layers visible. Eventually this very document document becomes the “For Construction” schematic.ĪddIn for Visio works fine for exporting the first layered Visio page, but not any of the subsequent pages which have exactly the same set of layers, but are using a different layer configuration where only the layers needed are visible, producing the pre-configured PDF is then returned to the in-house AV Design team who approve and flatten the selection for forwarding on for budget allocation.
