Pop-up Help 1

[hceonetman]

I am fairly new to Acrobat and am using it to create standard forms. Is there a way to provide context help, perhaps that would display when the cursor is in a field? I played with the comments tool, but that puts permanent comments on a page.

Thanks for your help,

I see stupid people. They don't even know they're stupid. They only see what they want to see.

there are a number of different ways to provide context-sensitive help in an Acrobat form.
1. You can create links to javascript that will pop an alert when clicked.
2. You can create screen tip help that will appear when cursor is moved into field.
3. You can create help dialog boxes within fields using the BLUR or FOCUS options within the ACTION tab.

I have more solutions so email me with your desire.

Blaque1,
Thanks, I was not aware of those field actions. I will have to study Adobe a little more, but it looks like that is exactly what I was looking for. I brought up the Adobe help and it looks like a very useful document. (Obviously nobody from MS was involved with it). I recommend that anyone new to Adobe spend some time going through it, you may find a lot of capabilities you didn't know existed.
