According to the PDF spec: "(Optional; pushbutton fields only) The widget annotation’s rollover caption, which shall be displayed when the user rolls the cursor into its active area without pressing the mouse button."

The best would be to create such a file with Adobe Acrobat to see if it works at all.

 caption) to display the value of argument caption when the user's mouse rolled over 
the widget.

I get the value passed to setNormalCaption() regardless. Is the problem with my 
expectations, my usage, or the implementation?

I'm morphing an existing PDF document, finding locations based on a kludge, 
since this is still proof-of-principle, so I only show the one method below. I 
can write a create-PDF-from-scratch driver for the method if necessary.

Thanks,
