atw: Re: Hidden text in PDF?

You can add the required instructions as a pop-up comment note to the pdf;
then the instructions will be immediately visible, can be closed if the
reader doesn't want to see them, and won't print when the doc is printed.

Cheers
Scott

I just have an explanation on the front page about printing the document
because it is designed to be printed double sided like a book.  If I don't
put that explanation in we get a stack of complaints about the 'missing'
blank pages in the document.  I could put "this page left intentionally
blank" but that still doesn't get people to print it out the correct way.  I
figure the explanation only needs to appear on screen, not in the print out.

I can put some instructions with a link to the PDF, but this doesn't cater
for people who search and just get the PDF, completely bypassing the
instructions.

Deborah, can you tell us what you want to use this for? Acrobat has some
very basic annotation tools and you can control what gets printed, but it's
hard to know whether these would suit your purpose. Could you just create
separate versions for printing and viewing, as is the case with some web
pages?

Cheers
