Rollover buttons don't work for users with Reader

Hello I performed the steps of this procedure to the letter: Hide an Acrobat DC button except during rollover...

and it works great on my machine, but when I send the PDF out- the rollover functionality does not work for users with standard Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Any advice?

Correct answer try67

You are right...I downloaded Reader XI on my Mac and then downloaded/saved the files to the desktop- it worked as expected.

So, is the correct answer: have everyone who will view the final product of this file download the latest version of READER?

Thank you Try/Bernd for keeping with me. 


Reader XI is not the latest version, actually. The latest version is called DC.

They don't need to have the latest version of Reader, but they do need to have (and use) Reader. It will probably not work in other PDF viewers.

Did you test it with Acrobat Reader?

Hello, yes I did. I tested it on two other machines that just use Reader.

The image below is what happens in Acrobat Pro....can it work in Reader?

It will work also in Acrobat Reader.
