Please help I am desperately needing assistance

Hey all,

I have spent about 5 hours all up tonight trying to create a pdf document for school (highschool teacher)

I am an English teacher, and I am trying to simplify (and expand) some of the terminology on the task sheet.

What I am trying to do is have a tip tool/hover over function where students can simply hover over a word and it will pop up with a text box with the definition of a word.

Or hover over another word and it pop up with a picture of say a plot graph for example.

Now - I have watched multiple YT videos. I have tried the "button" but I'm still left with a light blue box, I can't make it transparent it's not an option.

I am so stuck - does anyone know how to make a text box pop up on Adobe as you hover over a word.

I don't know why it's such a pain to do...and I need to do this.

Thanks all

The light blue box is the form field highlighting. It can be removed in a couple of ways.

1. In the Acrobat Preferences dialog, select the "Forms" category. You'll see a section titled "Highlight Color".  Deselect the "Show border hover color for fields".

This option turns off form field highlighting for your Acrobat only. 

2.  Add this one line document level script to the form:

app.runtimeHighlight = false;

This option will turn off form field highlighting on the form when it is opened. 

However, it only works on PDF viewers that implement the Acrobat JavaSript model. So mostly just Acrobat Pro and Reader.

Next, for the popup, use the Mouse Enter and Mouse Exit triggers to show/hide a popup.  There are a few of ways to do this. The simplest is to use the "Show/Hide a field" action to show/hide a readonly text field, or a button if you want to display an image.
