    I watched a video on how to create a pop up in a PDF for an object using buttons, but I’m interested in creating one for text. Specifically, I’ve got character styled text that are key words, and I’d like the PDF (and eventually the epub) to have a definition pop up when the user rolls over the text. Any suggestions?

    Hey David,

    Straight from InDesign to ePub I think the popup needs to be a footnote or an endnote. Even if you do them by hand in the HTML/CSS they would have to be set up the same way, unless you do some custom JavaScript popups.

    I dont have any experience with doing popups in PDFs so I’m not sure of the process or how they export to ePub.

      Thanks Aaron. The book already has both footnotes and endnotes, I don’t see how I could use them for key words as well, but interesting suggestion! I’ll research.
