we have created an interactive PDF in InDesign CC for a client with rollovers on various charts, that display extra information when rolled over.
Now obviously the rollovers are meaningless on touch based devices, but we have found that the chart underneath is also not being displayed.
Here it is viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader XI:
And here is the rollover in the same:
And this is the same page in iOS etc:
Now I understand that interactive elements are disabled in a lot of PDF readers, but is there a way of saying "if interactivity is disabled, display this"?

As suggested by horatio we changed the off state of the button to be in the base layer. The button was changed to have no off state, and just an over state and it now degrades gracefully on touch based devices.
That said, a lot of PDF readers built in to browsers, like the one in Chrome, will "helpfully" highlight buttons in a PDF, meaning that there is a tint over areas of the PDF where those invisible buttons are. We have found no way around this, and just added a caveat saying basically "this PDF works best when opened in Adobe Acrobat".
