Rollover button with text doesn't export online or as pdf

Hi all and Happy New Year.

I have created a rollover button (text) all seems fine in settings. I save as a .pdf or publish online ....no love.

Hey I run a record label so I'll send a couple free cd's or downloads or a tshirt to the wonderful peep who helps.

Blessings all!

We need way more details including screenshots and links.

HI Bob and thanks for the reply!

Hey

Uncheck "Hidden until triggered".

(btw: it's not a fillable field, just a button... is it what you want?)

[BobLevine]

For the rollover to work you must export as Interactive PDF and there is no way to create a fillable form in Publish Online. Can you put the PDF somewhere for us to look at if Vinny's suggestion doesn't help?

Hi all,

Really I just want a rollover to explain what info needs to go in that box like "name of artist" etc.

Thanks

I think we've established Publish Online doesn't support forms.

But you should be able to create a "Tool Tip" kind of effect.

Maybe you're just not setting it up quite right?

Let me know if this is the kind of thing you are trying to accomplish:

OK my goal is to have a rollover button that explains the info to fill in a box (offline its a tutorial)

I have

Type: Button

Name: Your Name (direction)

Event: On roll over (but I've tried most of the options

Actions: None

Appearance: Rollover

Hidden: unchecked

Description: Your Name

Printable: Unchecked

I publish online and all I get is "Your Name" now printed in the box.

I'm on the new inDesign (2017) for Mac.

Argghhh.

Read again: forms do not work in Publish On Line (or ePub etc. In short HTML5)!

Thanks Frans, so I understand online but I can't get forms, buttons, roll over to work in interactive pdf either.

So if you can't publish buttons etc. online or export as a pdf what is the point.

What you are referring to is a tool tip, not a rollover.
