Rotate view of PDF on a WinForm

I have to display a PDF inside a winform (c# on .net 2.0 framework). For now, I am using the ActiveX PDF control provided by Adobe.

Is there a way to add "alt text" to links in PDFs in Adobe Acrobat?

In Adobe Acrobat Pro, it's not that difficult to add links to a page, but I'm wondering if there's also a way to add "alt text" (sometimes called "title text") to links as well.
