Is it possible to simulate a button click?

Hi,

i want to click a button using a script in acrobat pro dc, how can i do this?

That depends on exactly what the button action/s is/are. If whatever action you've assigned to the button can be done with JavaScript, you'd just run a script that does the same thing.

Hi, the button action is to reset the form (but not the whole form).

You can't press the button but you can imitate that action using this code:

this.resetForm(["Field1", "Field2", "Field3"]);

This will reset those three fields, for example.

I would look at writing a document level function to perform that task and then call that function for the button  action or any place I need to perform that specific action.
