When setting up layers in InDesign, do they apply to the entire multi-page document or can they apply to a single page or several pages as desired, without having them apply to the entire multi-page document.
It seems like they apply to the entire document, which I do not want.
How can I get them to apply only to single pages or to non-consecutive or a few consecutive pages within a document without them applying to the entire document?
Thanks much.
The short answer is no, you can not apply layers to specific pages.
The long answer begins with the question: why would you want to? What problem are you trying to solve?
Chances are that there are other tools that you could use to solve your problem (like master pages, for example)
Whilst layers apply to the entire document, a possible workaround would be to make the page for which you want an additional layer a separate document and then create an ID book which includes the separate document. You would need, of course, to make those pages that come before the additional layer page into another document within the book and again, the pages that follow it would be yet another document (or documents).
It would be fiddly, but it would achieve what you want (for whatever reason you may want it).
