Layered PDF input file requirements
Layer names and content in input files should reflect how you want
them in the version plan; however, layers can be mapped to other
layers during refine.

Input file models supported
Input files can be created in a variety of ways. LPV supports different
input file models based on how the files are created. The models can
be divided into the following categories:
●
Category One
—Input files of category one models:
○
Are non-layered files
○
Each contain the entire contents (base and change content) for a
version.
●
Category Two
—Input files of category two models:
○
Are non-layered files
○
Each contain either base or change content; not both.
●
Category Three
—Input files of category three models include
layered input files.
Input file models affect how you build versioned pages. After versioned
pages are generated, workflows are the same.
