I've tried adding the buttons using pdfmark code, but I couldn't get them to
repeat on every page. I'll take another stab at that.

You should be able to place these on the various master pages
used in the FrameMaker document and have them then repeat
on every page.

Managing fully-functional buttons through pdfmark commands
can easily get to be too complex to be practical. For an alternative
approach, have a look at the Form Assistant (TimeSavers add-on),
where buttons are defined through FrameMaker hypertext markers.

See a demonstration of various buttons produced this way at
http://www.microtype.com/showcase/FormAsst/ButtonBar.pdf
http://www.microtype.com/showcase/FormAsst/SP_RolloverPop_demo.pdf
(source FrameMaker file available in the Showcase section)

The navigational buttons, produced automatically during distilling, are
non-printing and have "tool tips", which can be used to display additional
information when entering the button area.
