Version number: 0.8
Author's name: Robert Marik

Summary description: New version, includes some feature requests
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
This new version of OCGtools package includes some feature requests from users. The main change is, that the colors can be set individually for each layer and the position of text layers which do not span across the whole page is controlled via \pdfsavepos command and thus should work automatically for any page layout now (not restricted to beamer, web and pdfscreen). Improved cooperation with new version of fancytooltips package which comes soon. Dedicated to my 26-hours old son :). As usual, the development version is on http://bitbucket.org/robert.marik/ocgtools and stable version on CTAN.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ocgtools . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/ocgtools (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

ocgtools – Manipulate OCG layers in PDF presentations
The package provides the means to insert OGC (Optional Group Content, commonly known as layers) into PDF presentations. This allows the user to insert any TeX material into separate layers in a PDF document and also insert links which toggle these layers on and off. Parts of the PDF document, such as formatted text, tables, maths formulas or graphics may be switched to visible or invisible state by clicking active links or buttons.
The documentation discusses the package’s relation to various apparently similar packages.
