Not sure what you are trying to achieve Brian, but around 15-20 years ago I had/used an app in Windows to create a mouse hover on an image that displayed the name of the person below in a multi person image. It worked well for its purpose (family history doc) but unfortunately I no longer have the app or the documents I created.
I believe there are many similar apps still around and a Google search probably using "pdf interactive capabilities" as the descriptor" should yield plenty of results.
I cant recall if I needed Acrobat or not, but there are plenty of free or cheap alternate programmes that do a similar job to Acrobat.

If you don't want PDF there are many AI apps around that could prove useful.
