Is there a way to fold/unfold certain sections in a pdf. Only when the user clicks on the section or plus sign the items show up.
Example: user clicks on the plus sign and the items appear as drop down list.

4You can create things like drop-down menus etc. However, if this is a CV, I strongly recommend not to do this.– cfrCommented Apr 16, 2014 at 20:39

4Do you know which PDF viewer potential employers will view your CV in? Because many of these features work only in certain viewers. Typically, they work in (certain versions of) Adobe Reader and you take your chances with anything else. Also, what if somebody wants to print your CV? You wouldn't be able to use it in any situation where your application might be circulated on paper. (So that rules out all actual job applications.) At best you could post it online with a note that it requires Adobe Reader version n. That is bound to annoy somebody.– cfrCommented Apr 16, 2014 at 20:47

3Still it is a good question, with other applications too.– alfCCommented Apr 16, 2014 at 20:58

1Yes, "unfortunately" the OP mentioned CV in a comment. The question is well posed still (and it doesn't mention CV).– alfCCommented Apr 16, 2014 at 21:16

"Folding" is a typical application for PDF layers (OCG). This works in most recent viewers, but problems might arise with crippled poppler based so called PDF viewers on Linux
\documentclass[a4paper]{minimal}
\usepackage{ocgx}
\begin{document}
Max Mustermann \switchocg{ocg1}{\fcolorbox{blue}{red}{\bfseries +}}\begin{ocg}{OCG 1}{ocg1}{0}
\colorbox{yellow}{ \parbox{5cm}{Max Mustermann\\Musterweg 1\\12345 Musterstadt}}
\end{ocg}
Erika Mustermann
\end{document}
Add a note: Best viewed with Adobe Reader! ;-)

2Referring to
poppler-based PDF viewers as 'crippled' is offensive, frankly. Unlike Adobe's Reader, mypoppler-based viewer is, in fact, not crippled by design. Reader is.– cfrCommented Jul 4, 2015 at 2:02 -

2@AlexG Just saw your earlier comment. No, of course I wasn't referring to your comment there. I was referring to the OP's description in the answer. The answer describes poppler-based PDF viewers as 'crippled poppler based so called PDF viewers on Linux' which strikes me as a bit rich considering Adobe distributes deliberately crippled viewers and no longer supports Linux at all.– cfrCommented Jul 4, 2015 at 12:47

1How would you insert a \switchocg inside of an \eqnarray or \align. This is related to this question: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/431853/…– ranlotCommented May 16, 2018 at 13:28
