The layers on a PDF are not currently clickable within CDF. I have an example of a file that was loaded as a PDF with certain layers turned off.  When we put this PDF in a canvas and then downloaded the canvas, all the layers were turned on, making it difficult to read. It appears Cognite turned on all internal PDF layers when creating the download.

Ask: 

A - Let’s leave the layer state as is when downloading from a Canvas

B - Don't embed the layers and leave them exposed in the resulting PDF

C - Have layers viewable in Search Preview

D - (Future) Expose the internal layers in Canvas/preview
