To create a help annotation use \begin{lstlisting} ~\pdfannot width 20pt { /Subtype /Text /Name /Help /C [0.65 0.79 0.94] /T (Help text title) /Contents (The help text to show.) }\(\qquad\) \end{lstlisting} No room is reserved by pdf\LaTeX{} for the icon, so we add some space (qquad). To have some room between the form field and the help icon we use a non-breaking space. The ``/Name /Help'' entry chooses the annotation icon (question mark).\\ The ``/C'' entry sets the icon color, I recommend to use the same color as used in the form fields. Example ex0012 shows how to use \textsc{pdf} annotations to provide help. \clearpage
