I'm using the 'Show/Hide buttons and forms' feature but it's not working for me, i'm trying to have a button reveal a text panel (button), and i'm not seeing the effect when i export.
And troubleshooting steps to follow would be appreicated.

One more thing...how do you expect this to work for mobile devices? That tutorial you linked to shows all of this working in the EPUB preview panel, not in a PDF.

Noted Bob, This for an internal presentation so there is a bit of control. But i might rethink the design a bit as it looks like there are a few hurdles to overcome.

Unless you're using Acrobat or Reader, the chances of getting this to work are not good and even there, this can prove to be rather troublesome. If this is an important project, I'd start re-thinking it.

How do you export exactly? Which settings?

Hey Rene, I'm exporting to interactive pdf. With 'forms and Media' include all checked.
I have other basic buttons that navigate my doc that are working. It's just the reveal on rollover following this tutorial that is not working:
