PDF is really not a document format for editing, other than minor text "touch-up" ... The idea of having separate layers for text versus other graphics is OK and actually helpful if you export the layer information along with the PDF. This requires that you directly export PDF from InDesign as opposed to distilling PostScript. You must set the proper options in the export dialog to get the layers included in the PDF 1.5 or above file. Note that such separating of text and graphics may severely limit how you order your text and graphics in the case of complex graphics, vis-a-vis what's on top of what! But again, don't count on your client being able to readily edit PDF! It should be considered an emergency procedure only! - Dov
