Hi there,
 
I am creating an interactive PDF and I am stuck with creating multiline labels on buttons. I have found a solution for when the button is up - js which tells it to split the line of text - but this solution won't work for the rollover state and the text will appear in one line.
 
Any ideas on how to fix this?
 
Thanks :)

Are you setting the text with a script, or via the GUI? When you use the former, it works fine. For example:

this.getField("Button1").buttonSetCaption("some text\nsecond line",2)

Although you can use JavaScript, on the Mac you're not limited to just it. To add a carriage return for a button label, hold down the option key and press the return (enter) key.
