TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

You did not specify what is the authoring tool used -- depending on the
tool used and related techniques, you may be able to define these
buttons in the source file, so that the buttons are present automatically
upon distilling.
If FrameMaker is being used to author the PDF, you can use native
"nextpage" and "previouspage" hypertext markers for next/previous page,
"nextlink" and "previouslink" markers for previous/next location.
[ If you're based in the SF Bay Area... I will demonstrate built-in
FrameMaker-to-PDF capability and different ways to extend it
with FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers, on Monday, January 24,
6pm-7:30pm, in Seaport Conference Center, Redwood City.
