Answer
Hi Wan,

You can combine the two PDFs into a two-page PDF file, or you can save this as a Layered PDF. If you want to retain the layers in one PDF doc, you will need to remove the unused layers or they will appear in the PDF. Next, when you save, in the PDF options dialogue box, you will need to choose Acrobat 8 or higher compatibility. This will maintain layers.

Thanks

Kevin
