How do I create a PopUp Window or Menu Item that has Visual Elements that can be dragged out of the PopUp or Menu and dropped onto the page. I need the visual element object to remain static in the PopUp Window, so that it may be selected and used multiple times (so it will not be removed from the window after first use). I have created Buttons at the top of the page, and I would like to create an action for each button that opens a Window that has the different visual elements or objects for each different type of system used to create a simple diagram. I would like to close the PopUp by pushing the button a second time. The visual elements objects are .jpeg images.

You can place those images as the icons of buttons fields and then show/hide these image buttons when the first buttons are clicked.

No That does not work. I need to open a Palette of jpeg images to create a diagram. Even if hide/show button field worked for multiple images, the button images cant be moved, or I am missing something.

The only way I can think of to do this where the elements are movable by the user is if you used custom-made stamps to hold the images, and then added new stamps when the user pressed the button. They would then be able to move them around on the page.
However, I think that what you want to achieve goes beyond what's normally capable with a PDF file. You should use some kind of CAD application, like Visio, and then export the result to PDF, instead of trying to implement the functionality of that application in your PDF file.
