Download the attachment provided in the best answer of this topic, you will just have to change the image (placed in the layout) or copy-paste the fields into your document:

If the locations are limited you can use regular button fields and change their fill color with each click. It will be less flexible than the example I provided in the linked-to thread above, but should work on PDF Expert.

The basic code for doing it is:

if (color.equal(event.target.fillColor, color.red)) event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;
else event.target.fillColor = color.red;
