+14i have more than one input ,they are connecting in seperated input ports of pdf page formatter transformer but i have only one port output .
how could i rearrange layer orders for each input .if i get all of them from only one output port
i would like to show some layers down and others up

thanks for reply , but how could i do that ,and i have only one output port from pdf page formatter i mean all inputs became together after tranformer
i have 3 input port ,only one port output .
i have tried to used three pdf page formatter with attribute creator or feature writer 0,1,2 for each one but what suppose to be the last number 2 (over others ),it seems not happened
Right, so per input port on your FeatureWriter you can set that Layer Order number. It looks like you can't set it from an attribute though.
On a second note, I would be very careful with using separate PDFPageFormatters if you're overlaying layers on the same page. They'll fit the bounding box of the data coming in to the page area specified, but if they work separate from eachother they won't guarantee all the data properly overlaps. My recommendation would be to feed them into a single PDFPageFormatter input port and then split them out later on, based on an attribute you set before.
+62In the Adobe Geospatial PDF writer you have a Layer Order setting on the feature type properties.

Can you share a screenshot of what your workspace looks like right now?

it should pipes show over others but i did not get it .
what i did ,i have copied pdfpage formatter so i have the box of map insidepdfformatter at specific position so another pdf page formatter has the same position for the box and i used it to pipes .because the position of pipes should be over map in specific location .any way ,i did not get pipes over map at pdf output .
i have tried also to put ma and pipes together but it seems not good to be because i could not rearrange the layer order ,to let pipes over maps .
