+"""Script for editing PDF to change layer (OCG) visibility.
+
+The output should display correctly in the PDF viwer in google-chrome,
+evince, okular, and Adobe Reader (with JavaScript disabled).
+
+pdf.js in firefox might not work: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/4841
+
+Requirements:
+Install pikepdf:
+  pip3 install --user pikepdf
+and run the script with python3.
