I've created a series of pdfs each one with a forward and back button. I've created these in Adobe 8 Pro. these allow me to go back to a previous page and return to the one i was on. the actions i have set are
Views> go to > Previous doc
Views> go to > Next view.
These work fine using Adobe 8 but dont work at all on Adobe 9?
I can replace "Previous doc" with "previous view" for it to work on both versions, but cant find any alternative for the forward button.
Has anyone got any idea what so ever? I'm stuck!
 
Cheers

Probably related to the switch from SDI (single window) to MDI (multiple windows). If that's the case, you might be out of luck.

MDI (multiple documents in one window) was dropped in AA9 and Reader 9.
Reader 8's 'view > goto > previous document' and 'view > goto > next document' do not exist versions 9 and 10.
