You can have a word or words or an image (such as a button shape) as a document hyperlink to say another page in the document, or to an external website. Some devices, for example, iPads, don't have rollover capability – only click – you should avoid multi-action buttons like On Click, On Roll Over, etc. Multi-state object (MSO) don’t work at all in an Interactive PDFs.

can you duplicate a popup that does work and just swap out the text?
i often have issues like this with indesign. inconsisten performace. i also make things into objects to clear them out and set up the popup again one at the time till it works.

When I use the EPUB preview most all of the buttons work, only the 5 do not. However, when opening the Interactive PDF 13 buttons don't work.

You can't test a PDF with the EPUB preview panel. They are totally different.
As for the buttons not working, without totally examining the files, it's impossible to tell what's going on. What I can tell you is that I would never personally take on a PDF project like this. With that many buttons it's bound to be wonky.
If you wanted to do it as an EPUB, you could accomplish this with a multi state object.

Hi Bob!
Thanks for your message.
My sales colleagues want to be able to use a PDF with a client where they can click on each topic ("info" button) and have a definition of it (pop-up box).
I tried to tell them that this is not the best way or tool.
The EPUB made in indeisgn when saved as a PDF looses the interative buttons? Is it possile to create it as a EPUB and then keep the buttons functioning if saved/exported as an intercative PDF? (I don't think so, but wanted to ask anyway)

Some features overlap...some don't. If this is for sales material, what devices are the sales people using?
