Hi!

I'm having a trouble to view the PDF file via Mozilla Firefox browser. I've tried open with other browser and it show the correct layers of the file.

While open the PDF through Mozilla Firefox, all the hidden layer of the file appears.

Is there any way how I can fix this problem so that everyone can view the correct display like in other browser?

Thank you!

This problem has been mentioned in the past, and some work has been done on it.

If you test your file in the latest version of the viewer (which updates in advance of being added to Firefox) -- you can use the icon between Presentation and Print to open your PDF into

https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html

-- there is a new layers panel in the left column to view/hide layers. However, it seems that all the layers still default to visible, so this may not help you.
