Question

Can I add a print button to an interactive pdf that prints out a different document?

I have created an interactive PDF in InDesign, and the client wants to be able to print it out using a "Print" button within the interactive pdf. Due to the nature of the design, with interactive items overlapping each other, I need to create a separate layout with the elements that the client want to be visible when printed. Is there a way to add a button in either InDesign or Acrobat that will print out a completely separate document?

You can use printing and non-printing layers to achieve that.

I am going to try this in Acrobat but do you know how to do it in InDesign?


Not off the top of my head. You can try asking over at the ID forums...
