Question

buttons don't work properly

Hi all,

I built some buttons in my document, it worked fine but when I duplicated a set of buttons and set up another interactivty, it all stopped working. I checked Event and Visibility set up - it's all set up the way it should,  but when I click on the button it either doesn't show anything or only shows one button out of required three.


Any ideas what could go wrong?

I've yet to see show / hide work without issues. It's wonky as hell even on Acrobat / Reader for desktops.

 

MSOs (I see a go to state action there) do not work at all in PDFs.

 

Please tell us what your output intent is and we might be able to offer some advice.

What is the final output format? If the interactive buttons are for use in an Interactive PDF, they won't work on tablets and smartphones and in some readers – best to stick to simple hyperlinks for internal and external links, using a word or words or an image. No multi-state actions.
