Summary0016685: Layers not preserved in exported PDF/X-4 files
DescriptionThe PDF/X-4 spec permits the preservation of layers in PDF files created according to the spec, and the Scribus PDF export dialogue suggests that this option exists. However, exporting a PDF/X-4 with the option to preserve layers doesn't work. Opening the resulting X-4 file in Acrobat shows no layers.
Steps To Reproduce1) Create a Scribus document with layers.

2) Export to PDF/X-4 with the option to preserve layers selected.

3) Open the PDF in Acrobat.

--> No layers
Additional InformationExport to PDF 1.6 works as expected.

X-4 export in InDesign works as expected.
TagsNo tags attached.

Could you upload a sample pdf file generated with your version of Indesign? In the compression options, please disable the "compress text and graphics" options, podofobrowser has some issues with some compression features used by later PDF formats.
