1. Not sure what you mean by a "print preview"... You can disable fields highlighting, I guess, or make the fields read-only, but I don't really see the point of that. You can open the Pring dialog with this code:

this.print();

2. You can open the Save As dialog with this code:

app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

To silently save the file (or to print it) would require installing a script file with special code on the machine of each user.

3. There's a built-in command under the actions list of a button to do that, or you can use this code:

this.resetForm();

4. PDF files can't contain tabs. If you want to achieve something similar you will need to program it carefully using a combination of layers, multiple sets of fields, and scripts to show/hide them when the "tab" buttons are clicked. This is not a trivial task.

Thanks for your great help. 

Sorry you couldnt get print preview, it is a  feature that allows anyone to see exactly how pages will look when they are printed, So I want this in my pdf form, but dont know how to do this,

What exact command do you use in Acrobat to get that?

No again you didnt understand, I meant I want this print preview in my pdf form, because when I enter all information then before printing I need to check my information how it looks, This is what I want in PDF fillable form, hopeful this time you will get my lines, Thanks
