Hello,
I'm working with buttons in InDesign. Using Buttons and Forms, I've created a button which on the rollover state, shows a box. When you roll off of the button, the box disappears. In the Interactivity Preview box, the button functions properly. When I export the interactive PDF, nothing happens when I roll over the button in Acrobat. I have the newest versions of all apps. Any suggestions as to why this is not working? If I change the function of the button to open the box on the click, it works fine. Just the rollover function is giving me a problem. Could it be a pdf setting? Thank you.
The only preview in InDesign is for EPUB, not PDF. That said, rollover effects are wonky at best and will not work on mobile devices or many third party PDF readers.
That said, how exactly did you set up the rollover.

nor will it work on many third party PDF readers.
It will work with any PDF Reader that support AcroForms specifications.
It's also been known to be quite wonky even in Acrobat.
This is not true.

So we agree that it has nothing to do with the buttons or the PDF format.
It's the same for PSD, DOCX, etc., many software can open them but few respect all the specifications of the format and none of them offer the same functions as Photoshop or Word.
The PDF format is a victim of its universality but it can easily be prevented from opening with low-end software that does not support JavaScript and AcroForms.

I made the same point in my old blog post on Interactive PDF. It is truly a victim of its own success.
I'll check out your post. Thanks.
