Hello,
Is there anyway to insert a mouse over text on certain words in a pfd document.
There are a few custom made adobe scripts which do this but none of them are free.
I was wondering if there is any way todo this via python Think
I don't edit pdfs, so I didn't even know that was a thing that could be done. Looks like some good info is here: https://angusashtonfilm.com/create-inter...er-popups/

Seems like the way it works, is using MouseOver/Exit triggers to enable/disable the visibility of layers... I don't even know if pypdf2 supports layers, so I'm running out of ideas on how to easily do it.
