Parameters

OCGId
The unique identifier of the required OCG entry that you want to delete. You can obtain this identifier using the GetOCG method.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

Be aware that this method only deletes the specified OCG entry in the OCGs dictionary, which means, that the content itself of the specified layer is not removed and stay visible within the document.
