Hi, I wondered if anyone knows if there is possible to get helptext to pop up next to the mouse when the mouse is over a certain item in an PDF document. I would like it to act the same as when I have the mouse over the update button on my explorer, it then comes a yellow label with the text "Update". I hope you have understood the problem and can help me.

Rollover helptext?
- Thread starter Smope
- Start date
This rollover can be done by using creating using the short descriptions in the 'FIELD' properties dailogue box. Look under 'TYPE' then 'OPTIONS' for the button options. You can enter here short description text to show above 'links' texts or use a 'rollover' buttons you have created.
Real 'rollover' buttons need to be imported (as a PDF) and resized in the the same 'FIELD' dialoge box . (See the options here and click on 'LAYOUT' to se how to import a button) and place text over or above as you wish. Hope this helps.

There's a good description for how to do this at Looks like that page uses Acrobat 4. I assume the method is similar for versions 5 and 6.
