Can you build a menu (navigation) menu system inside a pdf in indesign

I saw this in a pdf once - basically you had a drop down menu (that even flipped out 2 levels) like on a website  but in a pdf, can you do this in indesign or does this require adobe acrobat. Which ever it is does anyone know what button that is in one of those applications (or how it is done)

Hi again, Nathan,

I am not an InDesign master, but when you saw a nice navigation system in a PDF, it was done by adding document level javascript.  I'm uncertain if ID can recreate that feature.

khkremer,

You get the sense that Adobe never really knew what to do with InDesign, especially in the last few years.  They've never given me the impression of supporting it properly.
jason1178, I dont' want to speculate about what Adobe wants to do with InDesign, but I do know that a lot of people prefer it over Xpress.
I know a lot of people like it (heck, I like it), but don't you get the sense that Adobe is overextending themselves trying to support all of these different web/graphic authoring apps and something has to give...
