    Is there a serious problem working with buttons in InDesign, actions set on a button are not copied when you copy and paste it, but it depends on the kind of action.
    For example, I’ve created a button with three action:
    1. go to page
    2. go to state
    3. show/hide buttons and forms

    n. 1 is copied always, with copy / paste and with alt+drag
    n. 2 is copied only with alt+drag
    n. 3 is not copied in either way, so you can’t have a button that show or hide multiple buttons and copy it maintaining all the actions.

    Any of you have found a solution on this?
    I know that DPS doesn’t support the use of show/hide buttons and forms but I have a customer that need to use this feature for an interactive PDF to simulate an hotspot.

    Thank you
