What you are referring to is essentially layers on Adobe Acrobat.
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-layers.html
What you want to do is create the answers as individually separate layers as described in the link above.
Once you have a separate layer [answer], you can associate a link to show/hide it - The link in this case will be what someone clicks to show the answer.

Repeat the above for each question/answer pair.
Layers are a simple way to show/hide all answers at once.
If you want to show/hide individual answers, you could put them into a text field set to readonly, and show/hide this field on an individual (or global) basis.

Good Day,
I'm creating a form in Adobe and need to use the form exported as an image. However, when exporting, the buttons appear in the output image. I was wondering if there is a way to hide the buttons when exporting the from as an PNG image.
Cheers
You can hide your button before exporting it to an image.
Okay! Since there were not very helpful answers to my question and after searching the web for a while, according to help desk link below, the buttons can be invisible except for a rollover act that make them visible. This way the when the form is exported as an image the unwanted buttons like "Form Reset" will not be exported to the image and yet it's there to reset the form.
Hide an Acrobat button except during rollover

I want to make a editable PDF document – but I want to take it a step further.
Is it possible to create some editable fields on the first page where the user can put in personal information (name, age etc.) and have the document fill itself in where "name" is required?
I need this for some employment contracts and it would be alot faster if the user only needs to fill the information in once, print the PDF and sign it. :)
In PDF a single form field may have multiple widgets. By definition all these widgets have the same content.
E.g. have a look at thie sample document aFieldTwice.pdf. You see two fields. As soon as you edit one of them and press enter, the same content occurs in the other one.
This might be what you look for.
I want to do a mock-up GUI within a pdf file. Basically, it's a series of pages. If you click button A on a first page, for example, it goes to the third page, if you click button B, it goes to the second page, etc. I want to know if there is tutorial, video for this and what software should I use?
Thanks.
If you have Acrobat (not reader -- standard or professional), creating clickable links within PDFs is as simple as click and drag. E.g. as documented here:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/graphics_multimedia/3439118.htm
"You need the full Standard version of Acrobat or better, go to tools->Advanced Editing->Link tool. Draw a rectangle around the text to link and it will prompt you for link options (in-document, web URL, link colors, etc.)"
The pdf requirement is an odd one and will make this difficult. If you are just looking for a mockup GUI there are better ways to do it!
Here's a free one:

And here is a previous question on this that you might find useful:

Good luck!
Create your GUI mockups with MockupUI and export the designs to a PDF document, one screen per page. Then you can open it in Acrobat and add page links.
We have a downloadable PDF file which looks great at 72% magnification in Adobe Reader and not so good at 101%. When downloaded and opened in the reader, its default magnification is 101%.
Is there a way to define the default magnification in the PDF file itself so that we ensure the best user experience?
Thank you!
If you can control the URL used to download, you can put parameters in the URL to control how the built-in reader will display the file.
For example, http://example.org/doc.pdf#zoom=50 will set the magnification to 50%.
See: https://www.evermap.com/AutoBookmark/Manual/OpenParameters.htm
The above applies to the built-in reader supplied by Adobe. Other readers may not honor the parameters. In particular, see the answer to this question regarding Chrome.
An example of how to define magnification when opening a file (regardless of the default one):
AcroRd32 /A "zoom=50=OpenActions" sh.pdf
First, this is a programming website, so you should identify a programming context. This question will probably be closed because it belongs on the soon to be launched serverfault.com
To set the default magnification, you need Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional not Reader to have the ability to edit pdfs. Then when you open the document, click File | Properties. Click the Initial View tab and enter 72% in the magnification text box and click ok. Save your pdf and reopen it. It should default to 72% magnification when it is opened.
Note: I am unsure if other open source pdf editors provide this type of functionality.
Update: Standard doesn't work for saving magnifications.
For Adobe Standard, go to "Edit" then "Preferences."
When you click on the "Page Display" tab on the left, you'll see a panel with a field called "Zoom," where you can select a percentage from a drop-down menu.
If the above suggestions are not working it may be because the bookmarks can contain zoom instructions in their properties. To look at the bookmark properties select a bookmark in the bookmark panel and right click it to open properties. Choose actions. There should be a description of actions that will be applied when clicking on the bookmark.
The best solution I have found is that you can add a subsequent property for zoom instructions that will execute following the initial one, and set the page zoom to your specifications. To do this, select all of the bookmarks, right click to open properties, then actions, then choose the add function. After choosing add, find the zoom instruction that is the best fit for what you are looking for.
If you want to edit the initial zoom instruction through the edit function in bookmark properties on all bookmarks, you cannot select all, because, although the zoom will be set correctly, every bookmark will be set to one bookmark page. If you wish to edit the properties this way you must edit each, one by one.
