Well done! Just what I was looking for. Thanks for making this up and sharing!
Following your suggestion, I gave it a go in Pro. Hover (or click, if you like) on a player's portrait, and a text box appears next to it with his/her name (a proper box, not just a "tooltip" or comment).One thing that would make this rock even harder would be to add pdf comments with the names of the players using the amps since I don't recognize some of 'em - sad though, I guess, that it turns out Adobe reader doesn't allow one to hover over a comment to read the name of the player. But presumably a second version of the above pdf could be saved that would allow viewing the list of players with a number reference for each. If one has Adobe Pro.
And I would love to do this; but not only don't I have Adobe pro, but also I no longer recognize a single player, except Yngwie and Jimmy Paige who were in my elementary school and high school classes in the 70's and late 80's - unless my memory has been affected by those era's drugs.
EDIT: Now I actually think I may recognize Jason Becker, although the fingers are concealed in this photo so I couldn't check the accuracy of the blurriness.

It will take some time, though. Beginning on page 5, there are a ton of invisible, overlapping, vacant image placeholders, which makes hover focusing problematic. I'll have to clean up the vacant placeholders on each page before assigning hover fields to the actual portraits. The actual process is easy, just tedious & repetetive.
The next big hurdle for me is I don't recognize a lot of the guitarists, haha. Some of the images don't use their name as the file name, and other images have somebody else's name, so I'm stuck.
Edit:
It seems hover focusing is only a problem in edit view, so I may not need to do any vacant placeholder housecleaning. Good news.
I feel you on not recognizing some players, but maybe guys on the forum can help.
I'm back on Adobe Reader 10, so not seeing the data, either because of the older version, or because its Reader and not Pro. I'd like to know if those with more recent versions of Adobe Reader (i.e. non Pro) are seeing the data.Following your suggestion, I gave it a go in Pro.
