How do I Invert the Visibility of Document Layers?

Question

I have a document with multiple layers, and I want to invert the current visibility of layers. How do I do this?

Answer

Press Ctrl+L to open the Layers pane:

Press Ctrl+A to select all layers, then press the spacebar to invert the visibility of layers:

It's also possible to use JavaScript in order to perform this operation, as detailed below:

1. Open PDF-XChange Editor, then press Ctrl+J to open the JavaScript Console.

2. Enter the following JavaScript in the window of the JavaScript Console:

var ocgArray = this.getOCGs();
for (var i=0; i < ocgArray.length; i++) {
    ocgArray[i].state = !ocgArray[i].state;
}

3. Once the JavaScript has been added to the JavaScript Console, simply press Ctrl+Enter to run it and invert the current visibility of document layers.
