Hi wislndixie,

You might want to look at creating a custom dialog box. However, creating custom dialogs is not a trivial task and is out of scope for this Ask an Expert setting.

We have a tool for creating custom dialogs and quite a few examples at our web site that will give you an idea of what can be done with them in PDF documents.

Another option could be to add an instructions page to your document and create Help buttons linking to it on every page of your form.

Hope that helps,

Dimitri
