   To make layers visible in the exported PDF, tick the 'Include Layers' option as highlighted below.

   IMPORTANT NOTES:

   1. Even if 'Include Layers' is enabled, the PDF will only show the layers which are visible / Printable as per the LAYERS tab within your View.
   2. When 'Include Layers' is enabled, the display order of some entities may not be correct due to the fact the display order in a PDF is somewhat determined by the layer order. If you are having problems with the display order of some entities, disable 'Include Layers'.
