Build PDF tooltips inside InDesign
A client recently asked if there was a way to add PDF "tooltips" to a page, so that when a reader hovers over an acronym, a tooltip appears that defines the acronym. I put my thinking cap on, and developed a technique for adding these tooltips right in InDesign. It seemed like a neat technique, so I wrote it up for InDesign Magazine. You can download a reprint of the article here: Build PDF Tooltips Inside InDesign (1.7mb PDF file). (InDesign Magazine is an excellent resource. If you don't already subscribe, you should!

The PDF doesn't work for me. I get an error message when I try to open it.
Oops. My mistake. I've fixed the post, so the URL For the PDF is now correct. Thanks for pointing out the problem, Jan.
