Creating multiple PDF popups on the same page from InDesign

I am trying to create an interactive PDF and want to be able to have multiple popups from one page. I have found the following video from Carli Jansen http://carijansen.com/creating-pop-window-pdf-adobe-indesign/ which is the kind of thing I want to do and works well with one popup but in doing it this way as soon as I create the second popup it seems to break the process and neither of them work.

Is there a better way of doing this or am I missing something??

Hi

I'm doing this quite often, and there should not be any problem.

The thing is with many different buttons, it's easy to get confused with all the visibility settings... Special care and concentration is needed ^^

Hard to tell what's not working!

I suppose screenshots of the Buttons & Form panel for each of your buttons will be necessary in order to help you spotting possible missettings...

Thanks for the reply.

I am now creating these in a different way direct in Acroat as I have needed to get this working asap. I will when I get a bit of time show you what I was doing as would be good to know but I need to get this job completed.

Thanks

Hi Jonny, I went to using this method in the end. So creating directly in Acrobat. I haven't gone back to try the other way as yet.

If the platform is iPad, forget PDF and everything else that isn't HTML5.

Mobile PDF readers including Acrobat are mostly garbage for interactive PDF.
