Hi! I made an interactive pdf using INDESIGN, it has buttons that take you to a specific destination in the document. All buttons are .png images previously made in Illustrator. The problem is that when I open it in Acrobat all the buttons go crazy, they disappear when I try to touch them. Someone help me!!!
I have found that, as Derek suggests, using hyperlinks created through the hyperlinks panel can be more reliable than buttons. For one thing using them allows you to export the file as an Adobe PDF (Print) rather than Adobe PDF (Interactive). The advantage of this is that there are more PDF viewers that will recognize the interactivity using hyperlinks in this manner. Interactive PDFs (and the buttons created for them) are only guaranteed to work correctly when viewed by Acrobat 9 or later. I would also suggest making unstroked and unfilled graphic frames placed over the images or words that are to become interactive into hyperlinks (put them on a separate layer). These "invisible" hyperlinks can be put on the Parent (aka Master) Pages and thus automatically be on all pages in the PDF to provide navigation within the document. Keeping the hyperlinks as a separate entity from either images or text also means that any editing of the images or text will not affect the hyperlinks.
