There is no user interface in Acrobat for specifying "Go to View" actions to link to other PDFs with form fields (including buttons). But with the help of an FDF file, you can create the necessary action. For more information, see: http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=619
I don't quite understand what you mean by the background overwriting the text. Can you elaborate?
