Hi, I have a problem. I had to put different hyperlinks in a paper that would make it easier for people to go from one page to another without having to scroll all the time. Since I had a lot of hyperlinks to do, I used the normal link tools as well as the button tool which was great because I could duplicate it in the different pages. It works fine when using a computers but when using a tabletm the only links that works work are the ones made with the normal link tool. I'd like to know how I could fix this problem.

There's no easy solution, I'm afraid. You can convert buttons to links using a script, but it can't know what action that buttons had, nor can it apply any action except for "Execute a JavaScript", which probably won't work on the tablet, either.

The only (automated) solution I can think of is to do it outside of Acrobat, using a stand-alone tool.

If you're interested in hiring a professional to create it for you, feel free to contact me privately by clicking my user-name and then on "Send a Message".
