Question about PDF ?

I worked on a project I did in 2023 and export the PDF. One thing I did not enabled the PDF Settings to "Export georeference information".


Now I regret that I did not, because someone asked me to make a bigger map and copy this project to another server.


When I went back to that project, I realized that the legend got messed up and some layer had broken links.


I am re-doing it because I did not lock the legend (My bad)


Now I still have that old PDF and there are no layers to turn on and off.


The only thing I am asking is there is a way for me to put the old PDF back and get the layers to get them on or off.
The reason is because I wanted the PDF to have the list to show each layer on or off.


One of them I want to turn on a layer to see what I did in 2023 and the rest of other layers to turn off...

 

Anyone tried that before ?

@DEAF_PROBERT_68 When the old PDF was generated, the georeferenced information was not preserved. Hence, the data layering cannot be activated at the old PDF.

Your best path forward is to fix, re-create the project and generate new maps, PDFs.
