Hello!
Fist post here, after a little search in the archives of the forum...

... To ask about a problem I encountered after making a couple buttons (hidden, mouse up>go to a page in this document) in Acrobat 9 Pro over areas containing quite some small text and images:
The buttons function perfectly when I open the pdf in Preview but when I open it in Acrobat, it seems I'm only able to select the text or images, not trigger the button.

If you have an idea of how to solve this problem or where it might come from, please let me know!
It's probably an easy one, I'm just getting started with Acrobat and couldn't find much clues on how to solve this in Adobe's help or browsing through the topics on this forum.

Thank you in advance :)
J

Do you mean "Go to a Page View"? If you make the field visible is its placement above your text and graphics?

Yes, "Go to a Page View", my mistake!
The button fields appear above the text and graphics when made visible, yep.

Does the button work when it's visible? If not, does it work if you move it away from the text and graphics?

Do you think I should try to have it visible but behind the text and graphics? (just guessing, no idea how to do it)

Not sure, can you post a link to the file?

Yep, thanks for taking a look!

There it is: https://www.yousendit.com/download/S1VDQk01bWdwM2wzZUE9PQ
I only put one link in this version, from page 2 to 3, on the lower right side (black article "SURE REALISM").

In the button properties don't make the button hidden. Instead, change the color to no fill for both the border and fill.
