PREPARE A FORM TOOL MISSING - ACTION BUTTON

[Ashley37882185x9wv]

Preparing a form and would like to include an action - SUBMIT button. I cannot find the button option. I go to customize toolbar and it's not an option there either (see ss 2).

I'm not sure why it's not showing.  Did you try Menu > Disable new Acrobat?  As a work around you can add an image field and in the field panel, right-click the image field, select "rename" and remove "_af_image" from the field name then in the field properties, remove the mouse up action.  For another workaround you can try adding the field programatically by running the following script in the console:

this.addField("SUBMIT","button",this.pageNum,[0,18,72,0])

The script should add a button in the bottom left corner of the page.

Click on Tools - Prepare Form - More - Revert to Acrobat Form. In the future, do not tick the box that says "This document requires signatures" when creating the form, as that creates an Acrobat Sign form, which has more limited features. If you want to add signature fields do so manually, without ticking this box.

Hi,

Same problem.

On the form I want to add a button, this is the tools I see.

On another form, I can see the OK button

I've read everything and tried everything, still cannot get it to be available to me in the form I need it in. I've tried copying it from the other form but I can't move it or edit it's properties for what I need.

Thank you.

Never mind. Found it, finally.
