Hypertext Popup Menus

I am wondering if there are any Extendscripts available or any other way to make the hypertext popup menu links appear and work in Acrobat PDF. I know that there is a $200 add on out there but I am looking for something that is free.

Thank you.

    What specific kind of pop-up are you wanting in the PDF? You can create all sorts of effects manually using Postscript text frames and pdfmark commands or importing custom EPS files with the appropriate pdfmark commands.

    See the following articles for information on how this can be done in FM.
