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:

Hi,

That is exactly what im looking for, unfortunatly as i will be using it on an IPad through PDF Expert it does not work! im not even sure how you would convert the code to do so eiter!

Either way, Thank you very much!

    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;
