You had better take that up with Adobe who advertise the concept of layers
in Acrobat and their other graphics packages. Applications which use
layers can save them into PDF files where the layers can be accessed and
manipulated in Acrobat.

Louie's printer is obviously familiar with the concept of layers in PDF
files - as any publishing professional would be - and has advised her
accordingly. 

It does, however, seem unlikely that a RISC OS graphics application was
able to save as a layered PDF, and the problem is probably elsewhere - but
just because a RISC app can't do it doesn't mean that it isn't a facility
available.

I would refer you to the Adobe web site for further information about how
PDF files work and what facilities are available - including layer
manipulation. It's all there, if you bother to look.
