I have a user fillable form that is saved as a file when Submit button is clicked. I have set the General property of the Submit button as “Visible but does not print”.  The trouble is that Submit button image is also saved in there which I don’t want to. Any suggestion how I can avoid the SUBMIT button image being saved?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm attaching a sample here. When I fill in the form and click Submit button, this is the output that I get. As you can see at teh very bottom Submit button's image shows up which I would like to supress, if possible. 


Change the script I provided to event.target.display=display.hidden;

Set the button layout to Label Only by adding this script to the button script:

event.target.buttonPosition=position.textOnly;

Hi,

I did that but it still shows up. 

In the Actions, I have 

     Mouse Up

        Run a Javascript      (I pasted the above Javascript)

        Execute a Menu Item

            Acrobat Menu > Save as..

 

What else can I do? Appreciate  your guidance.

It works for me.  Can you upload your form, or another PDF with just the button?
