Hi all,
I start playing with interactive pdfs and I would like to get my customers to print an interactive pdf that *only* shows the buttons that were triggered (or only played animations)
I created 2 buttons. The first one triggers the second one that is "hidden until triggered".
Any idea on how to make a print version of the pdf that show that second button only if the first one was clicked?
It would be wonderful. Take care.
Or maybe there is another way to get to this?
You may want to jump over to the Acrobat forums for this one. I don't think you have all of the control that you need to make this happen from within InDesign. In Acrobat however, a button can have the property "Visible but doesn't print". I'm thinking you could set all of the buttons to that state so that they don't print but then using JavaScript in Acrobat you should be able to set the button to "Visible" when someone clicks on it. I don't know the JavaScript code to do that off hand but some
