I need a visual indication (better than the hand indication) (rollover) on my pdf link created with the Link (Chain) tools. Anything will be good.. a border around the link or anything else. I cannot use other tools in acrobat because this will be transform by another apps in a flash file and that converter only take web link in consideration...

Something to consider.

For an existing link, in a PDF, you can select the Link tool, put focus on the link, right click & select properties.
In the Link Properties dialog, under the Appearance tab, you can configure the link's boundaries to be a Visible Rectangle,
a Line Style, Highlight Style, Line Thickness, and (line) Color.

I believe much, if not all of this configuratiion can be done via Acrobat JavaScript as well.
You may want to ask, via a new thread, in the [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewforum.php?id=25]JavaScript Forum[/url] here at AUC.

Thanks Daka . What I need it’s a rollover made with the link tool. When a user pass over the link it should go from invisible to show a line around the link or other visual clue that a link is there. Can I do that?

It can be done if you place a button form field above your link and set it's appearance properties to match what you want. This can either be done manually, or with a script.
