Hi there,
Just wondering, I want to reveal some hidden text and images through use of a button in my PDF but in order to do so I need to make these items also buttons. That means when revealed the cursor indicates they are clickable which will be confusing for teh reader since they arent meant to be.
Is there a workaround by maybe making a layer of content visible or something?
Many thanks!

Hi
Can't think of an Indesign built-in solution.
In Acrobat (Pro), go to your "button" properties and turn it into "read only".
Should do the trick, if the readers use a proper (= Acrobat ^^) PDF reader of course...

Champion! That did the trick, at least on desktop with Acrobat. Mobile is a whole other nightmare, I've tested multiple readers on Samsumg and only Xodo plays audio and also makes the buttons work correctly...everything else just fails, even Adobe Acrobat. Basically the client should be going with a micro site but theyre positive they want a PDF........ 😕
Thanks again for your help!
