generating popups using PDFlib

I'm planning to use PDFlib to generate some plots. There is a particular bit of functionality I'm looking for though that I know PDF supports but I'm not sure if PDFlib does or what functions calls I need to use if it does. A PDF file will let you specify an area in the document and if the mouse enters that area it will react by doing something like drawing something else onscreen. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty sure the free version of PDFLib doesn't support it, and I'd be surprised if the commercial version even does. Check the documentation that you can download - it's got a listing of every PDFLib function.

I can't see anything in the PDFlib manual about supporting popups. Does anyone know a PDF library that does support them?
