Is it possible to hide some slides and unhide later during presentation?

Question

Hi!I'm using Adobe Acrobat 2020 on Windows. Similar to Microsoft power point, I want to keep a few of my slides hidden from my audience during the presentation. However, I want to unhide those during the discussion if those slides are really necessary. To be clearer, for example I have 5 slides in my presentation, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. But during the presentation, I will only show slides 1, 3, 5. So, 2 and 4 will be hidden. And if I need later, I will show the slide 2/4 during the discussion. I know how to do it on windows power point, but unfortunately did not find any option in the acrobat, and google search was not adequate also.

Hi,You can define the pages you want to hide/show as templates.Then, you can show or hide them manually but in this case you will have to replace them manually in the right order.Else, you can use a button with a script as the example attached. To define a themplate, you select the page then with the tool "Organize Pages" you click on "More" and select "Page Template".You define a name, then "Add".The templates are automatically set to show them.Uncheck the boxes to hide them.Here is the script of the button which allow to show or hide the pages:if (event.target.buttonGetCaption()=="SHOW") {var a=this.templates;a[1].spawn(this.numPages, false, false);a[0].spawn(1, false, false);event.target.buttonSetCaption("HIDE");this.pageNum=0;} else {this.deletePages(this.numPages-1);this.deletePages(1);event.target.buttonSetCaption("SHOW");this.pageNum=0;}Please have a look on the attached example.@+
