    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Load the sample document
        PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
        doc.loadFromFile("layerSample.pdf");

        for (int i = 0; i < doc.getLayers().getCount(); i++)
        {
            //Show all the Pdf layers
            //doc.getLayers().get(i).setVisibility(PdfVisibility.On);
            //Set all the Pdf layers invisible
            doc.getLayers().get(i).setVisibility(PdfVisibility.Off);
        }

        //Save to document to file
        doc.saveToFile("output/invisibleAllPdfLayers.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);
