  • @mespilus No idea and nope. From personal experience I've found Adobe Acrobat Reader flawless (obviously) while macOS preview has a far more relaxed attitude towards showing/hiding hidden objects on mouseover/mouseoff (which would be the method I would use to implement the effect).
    Test PDF hopefully attached if you want to try a few readers and see what works.

    Salamander, my choice of pdf readers, seemingly opened the pdf, but gave no warning, but equally no hover-revealed item.

    Thanks,

    This is the right answer. You can do some pretty incredible things in PDFs, but anything beyond 'text and pictures on a page, mild clickage' is unfortunately unlikely to work for a wide audience.
