Can I exclude/hide a page in a PDF but acces it via an InDesign button?

New Here ,

So this all would be done in InDesign...

I´m trying to make this doc which has a customer journey map, and I want some of the text in this map to be clickable, so if you click on CJ1 it should take you to CJ1 page and on this page there would be a back button that should take you back to the map where you clicked. The thing is I´d like to only access this kind of sub-pages through button clicks on the map, so if you scroll past the map, you wouldn´t see this interior map sub-pages.

Can this be done in  InDesign? Kind of web-page like...

I tried making the subpage a button and showing/hiding buttons but the fact that the subpage is a button above the map, this forces the buttons on the map to not have any actions or hovers.

Have you considered having these map pages at the end of the document, perhaps past a blank page. You could easily hyperlink to the pages and back.

You could also consider doing this with layers in the InDesign file and export a PDF with the layers included.

It depends on the structure of your document, but it sounds like you have considered a pop-up for the map so it might work.

It requires a bit of planning on how the buttons work, but we did this successfully a year or two back. We used button actions to 'Set layer visibility' and it was relatively straightforward.

The straight answer is no. The workarounds here might work for you but you should note that interactive PDFs, beyond Acrobat and Reader on desktop computers is going to be a crapshoot.
