With Interactive PDFs 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.

Thank you for answering. I have the basics of making a button, and then revealing a graphic (which as i understand it, is easiest if you also make it a button) after the first button is clicked on. I'm curious, if it is possible to have ANOTHER button on the revealed art... Like a "close X" or yet another graphic reveal. Sorry if this makes no sense. I've made it clear to the client that the document is to be viewed on Lap or desktop, as I understand the limitations in the PDF interactivity.
