Identifying Selected Buttons or Hyperlinks

hello--

 

i'm hoping can point me in right direction question: have pdf either buttons or hyperlinks can colored or highlighted in way show had been selected.

 

let me explain: 

i'm creating training exercise has readers explore different facets of our products. rather have them go z, i'd them have opportunity explore products in order want to. need make sure review of products.

 

as result, created page list of buttons -- each linked different page in same pdf. on each of these destination pages, placed button reader return main list. love reader identify products have reviewed making buttons selected visually differentiated in way (like web hyperlinks). 

 

since i'm working links within document (nothing outside pdf), hoping might possible (maybe javascript or using form fields?). 

 

any suggestions may have helpful.

 

i have acrobat 9 , x. audience using believe, reader 9.3.

 

thank you!

you can add script action in addition link action. script can change color of text in button label, background color, or border color. here several examples:

 

// change border color red

event.target.strokecolor = color.red;

 

// change text color blue

event.target.textcolor = color.blue;

 

// change background color gray

event.target.fillcolor = color.gray;

 

for testing can set routine initialize of buttons default appearance.
