Rollover button modification

I have been creating interactive PDFs in InDesign. Of course, some areas have rollovers and some are clickable buttons. My problem is that they are both read as "buttons" by Acrobat which means the arrow cursor turns into a "hand" when you enter the hotspot. This is deceiving for rollovers because it makes it appear as if that rollover is clickable when it is not. Is there a way to modify the rollover action in Acrobat so that the arrow stays an arrow?

Are your rollovers text? If so, you might consider using the highlight tool to create them instead. Here is a blog entry [url=http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobatineducation/2007/11/creating_a_rollover_definition_1.html]Creating a rollover definition in your PDF[/url] that discusses how to do this.
