Hi there.

OK thanks for the confirmation, I'll create a link object then instead.
One further question, is it possible to change the HOVER type text that appears when you hold the mouse over the link?

Either with a text link or an object link?

Thanks

Why want you change this? The user needs this information.

Hi

I'm not sure what question this is relevant to. I'd perhaps like the hover text to display something like

"Please click this link to goto our website where you can find more information" rather than it just display the URL.

Put the text "Please click this link to goto our website where you can find more information" in your document and add the link over this text.

I dont want the text in the document to look like that.

Acrobat and Adobe Reader display the destination of a URL link for security reasons. You cannot change that behavior.

Hi

I kinda thought as much. No problem, just trying to get to grips with what can and cant be done with Acrobat.

Actually, it is possible to specify your own tooltip text, if you use a

button instead of a link.

You just set the button's action to "Open a weblink" and it will act the

same as a link, but you'll have more control over how it looks and behaves.

Hi there

I cant see the term "Open a weblink". Can you advise please?

Also then how do you change the "Tooltip text" please?

Create a button form field. Under Properties - General you can set the

tooltip (the field appearing under the field's name).

Under Properties - Actions, add a Mouse Up triggered-action of the type

"Open a weblink" and specify the URL to open.

And you're done...

Great stuff, thanks for your help try67.
