I created a few Hot Spots in an Interactive InDesign PDF that contain definition text. I am wondering if the viewers wants to print as a PDF, is there the ability to print that text. If not, I will include as a separate page.

Thanks

If you are wanting to print the descriptions you can apply to interactive elements (AKA tool tips), I don't know if this is possible. You could include a copy of the descriptions on a separate layer that you would turn off for export to PDF, then in Acrobat, change the layer property to print, but never view. This would print the descriptions whether you wanted to or not. Alternately, you could add a button to turn on the descriptions layer, the button would have a title such as- click here to show definitions.
