Hello,
 
I'm creating a pdf newsletter with a list a products. My question is if it's possible that when I click with the mouse on a product, an image or a text box pops up relating to that specific product.
 
Is it also possible to, instead of clicking, hovering on the text and a box with the image pops up attached to the mouse pointer?
 
Can you help me either by giving me some hints or a link to a post related to this subject?
 
Thanks
Hugo

You can create custom popups similar to what you describe. The popup could be a hidden annotation or form field that becomes visible when the user hovers or clicks on button. Or the popup could be an Alert or Custom dialog.
Images can be shown on button fields and on custom dialogs.

Do a search on this site for "popup window", you'll see a lot of forum messages. Then filter for "Tutorials". You'll see an article on the Alert box.

Here's a PDF that shows an example of a form field that's used as a popup.
