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.
