Delete layer

Hi,

 

is it possible to delete a layer in Acrobat X  (by scripting) ?
I need to delete it because although it is hidden and locked it still shows up in Safari on a Mac.

It takes a lot of hours to go back to InDesign and then Acrobat so that's no option.

 

I noticed that exporting my pdf to pdf/a removes the locked layer but I'm uncertain if anything else is modified (scripts, document actions etc)

 

Thanks for any idea pointing me in th eright direction.

    You cannot delete an OCG (layer) but you can merge it within another. Of course the content of the layer won't be removed by merging it, you'll have to do that manually.
