Hi 

 

I created an interactive button with the action go-to destination.  It could to a selected page. How could I set to hide the selected page until I click the button?

Thx

Hi @Danning38479948xlj2:

 

As a heads up, interactivity in PDFs is flakey—particularly when viewed/interacted with in a 3rd party browser. You should be aware of that before you get too far. 

 

As for hide/show, Acrobat supports hide/show forms fields but not pages. JavaScript extends Acrobat's feature set, but re-read that first sentence before you continue. If you have further questions, I'd ask them on the Acrobat forum. https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/ct-p/ct-acrobat?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all

In addition to the good information above, you can include content on pdf layers, where you can use buttons to show or hide the layers. Here is a link to a related discussion with a link to a sample pdf with instructions on page 2:
