    Hi,

    I’ve been searching the web for a while without being able to find what I’m looking for so I’m comming here in hope for help.

    Here is what I’m trying to achieve, I already am familiar with button and basic interactive pdf :

    I have a dropdown menu, with a number of locations entries. on the bottom I have the map and would like a button to appear when the viewer selects one of the choice. I haven’t been able to figure out how to specify an action for each entry and not only when the field in active or inactive.

    Is there a way to do that?

    In advance I thank you for any help you might provide.

    It’s not always easy to do this in PDF, but you probably can do it with the show/hide buttons trick:

    Sadly I knew those 2 methods. And I started using those. But it means that this file has a huge amount of buttons. A button hierarchy like I’m supposed to do means at least 200 buttons without drop down menus (as each entry = at least 2 buttons). And As far as I know there is no way to group the buttons to make it easier.

    *shrug* I guess I’ll have to do it the hard way ^^

    Thanks!
