A text pop-up is a link that displays a description when a user clicks or hovers over it. You must be in a rich-text field (a field that allows text, objects, file attachments, and pictures) to create a text pop-up.


  1. Put the document in edit mode.
  2. Select the text to act as a text pop-up.
  3. Click Create > Hotspot > Text Pop-up.
  4. Click the Hotspot Popup Info tab in the "Hotspot Pop-up" properties box.
  5. Enter the text you want to display in the pop-up in the Popup text field, and then click the check mark to save.
  6. Under Show popup, select when the pop-up appears by clicking On mouse over or On click.
  7. Under Hotspot style, select a hotspot style (border, highlight, or none).
    Note: Use this same procedure to change the text, function, or border. Click Hotspot > Hotspot Properties and then make any changes.

Note: You must be in Read mode to test a text pop-up. From Edit mode, save & close the document, then open it.
