Buttons in Acrobat

I'm creating buttons with actions in my current PDF.
I have entered Text to show up on the button, ie- "To Next Page"
And after creating the button the text that I entered does not show up.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks!

Did you enter it under Label in the Options tab of the button's properties?

  • Problem using the e-mail button in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 with Outlook 2013

    I just switched my e-mail application from Mozilla Thunderbird to Outlook 2013.
    I have always been able to click the e-mail button in Acrobat 7.1.0 to open a blank e-mail message with the PDF file attached.
    I keep getting an error now that I have Outlook 2013.
    It says "You need to create a Microsoft Outlook profile.  In Microsoft Windows, go to the Control Panel and open Mail.  Click Show Profiles, and then click Add"
    Then, when I click on the OK button it says "Acrobat is unable to log in to your email application.  Please check your account settings and try again."
    I have checked and I have one profile in Control Panel called Outlook.  Outlook is set as my default e-mail program. 
    I tried using a 3rd party PDF reader (Foxit Reader) and the e-mail button works as expected (opens a new message with the PDF attached).
    I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit with Outlook 2013 32-bit (this was what was recommended by Microsoft on the Office download site).
    I would appreciate help anyone can provide to fix this problem.
    Thank you.

    It may be a similar issue, but not the same issue. This is not the Reader forum, but if you are worried about the compatibility it is a simple matter to upgrade your Reader to AR XI. The original post had to do with a cost product, not the free Reader.
    For AA7, the PDF Maker of AA7 is not compatible with Outlook 2013 as suggested. You should still be able to open most PDFs, but to create a PDF from Outlook you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or upgrade to AA XI.

  • Add Button in Acrobat 9 Pro to Livecycle Document.

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem that I am beating my head up against. In my company we have some pdf documents that have been created using LiveCycle for our "go green paperless movement" but we have hit a snag. We have some "virtual printers" in use with our document management software that work just as normal networked printers but instead capture an image of the document being printed and run OCR on our documents for record keeping. Each pdf document has its own virtual printer to recognize appropriate OCR templates to use. Therefor we have many virutal pritners for our many documents. We love our LiveCycle documents but, when attempting to use javascript to print to a particular network printer we have found our complication. We do not want to map the printers using windows or train our employees on adding network printers to their profile as there are so many and each document is assigned to a virtual OCR printer, we want the document to have an embedded button that automatically prints to it's assigned virtual printer.
    If I open a document and edit it with Acrobat 9 Pro, I can simply place a button field and add this java code:
    var  pp=this.getPrintParams();
    pp.interactive=pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
    pp.printerName="\\\\TOSHIBABILLING2\\pcl6";
    this.print(pp);
    and the system prints to the network printer perfectly. Yet if I use that same javascript in LiveCycle we get nothing. Further reading I found some details specifying that I cannot use this same scripting to print to the network printer using LiveCycle and such am at a loss.
    I have tried open the form in Acrobat 9 Pro to edit it and just add the button using Acrobat Pro, but each time I edit the document it opens LiveCycle as the designer.
    I was not sure which forum to use as this problem has been found between working with both programs. Can someone help me to either modify the code for LiveCycle, or to at least find a way to open the document in Acrobat 9 Pro to just add the print button to the LiveCycle form. Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't open the Form Tools though is what I'm saying. When I open the document in Acrobat 9 Pro I have no form tools.
    I have to go to [Forms] -> [Edit Forms in Designer] in order to open the form tools.
    Only when I select to open in designer I do not get the Acrobat Pro Designer, it automatically opens the document in LiveCycle and I have no option or ability to change the document designer to Acrobat Pro.
    Is there some way I can "Force" the docement to open in Acrobat 9 Pro designer JUST so I can add the print button?

  • Not able to expand tool button in Acrobat 9.0

    I have implemented a plugin which contain two Tool buttons using Acrobat SDK 7.0.
    I created a "Flyout" using function AVToolBarNewFlyout(). I am adding those two tool buttons into this Flyout using function
    AVToolBarAddButton() and at last I am doing AVToolButtonSetFlyout().
    When I load this Plugin into Acrobat version 7 and 8 the flyout is working fine (where I can expand tool button) with or without opening any document in Acrobat window.
    The problem is when I load the same Plugin into Acrobat version 9 the Flyout is working fine (where I can expand tool button) only when the document is opened in Acrobat window.
    I am not able to expand tool button if active document is not present.
    Please help me..

    Hi Leonard,
    Please find the below Source code:
    Creating toolbar using AVToolBarNew function.
    AVToolBarPositionRec positionRec;
    memset(&positionRec, 0, sizeof(AVToolBarPositionRec));
    positionRec.size = sizeof(AVToolBarPositionRec);
    positionRec.inDoc = true;
    positionRec.dockPosition = kAVToolBarDockTop;
    positionRec.stackNum = 1;
    positionRec.offset= ASMAXInt32;
    positionRec.order = ASMAXInt32;
    positionRec.hidden = false;
    CreateButtonsFromDescriptors (toolBar);
    AVAppRegisterToolBarPosition("Our Plugin Toolbar", false, &positionRec);
    //This is the function to create flyout for toolbutton.
    static void CreateButtonsFromDescriptors (AVToolBar target)
    PIButtonDesc *buttonInfo = gButtonInfo;
    ASInt32 *buttonOrder = gButtonOrder;
    AVExecuteProc commonExecCallback;
    AVComputeEnabledProc commonEnableCallback;
    // Create our toolbuttons.
    while (*buttonOrder != 0)
    // Create the main toolbutton.
    AVToolButton toolButton = AVToolButtonNew (ASAtomFromString("Button 1")/*(buttonInfo->buttonName)*/, NULL, false, false);
    // Creating our common callbacks.
    AVToolButtonSetHelpText (toolButton, "Button 1");
    buttonInfo++;
    // Create the rest of the buttons in the section on a flyout toolbar.
    if (*buttonOrder > 1)
    AVToolBar flyout = AVToolBarNewFlyout();
    for (ASInt32 i = 1; i < *buttonOrder; i++)
    AVToolButton tButton = AVToolButtonNew (ASAtomFromString( "Button 2"/*buttonInfo->buttonName*/), NULL, false, false);
    //Creating our common callbacks.
    AVToolButtonSetHelpText (tButton,"Button 2");
    AVToolBarAddButton (flyout, tButton, false, NULL);
    buttonInfo++;
    // Add flyout to button.
    AVToolButtonSetFlyout (toolButton, flyout);
    // Finally, add button to target toolbar.
    AVToolBarAddButton (target, toolButton, true, NULL);
    buttonOrder++;
    With the above Source code I am creating a Plugin.When I added this Plugin into Acrobat 7 and 8 I am able to expand the ToolButton( i.e flyout ) with or without active document.
    But when I load the same Plugin into Acrobat 9 I am able to expand Toolbutton( i.e Flyout ) only when the active document is Present.If active document is not present in Acrobat window I am not able to expand the Tool Button( i.e Flyout ).
    Thank you,

  • Where's my Page Thumbnails button? Acrobat 8 Std

    A few weeks ago I was able to click on the Page Thumbnails button in Acrobat 8 Std, some how it is no longer visible so can't use page thumbnails option. How can I fix this problem?

    Right-click the left panel and select Reset Toolbars (or something similar
    to that).

  • Missing the handy "Open Bridge" button in Acrobat.

    I got a new machine with CS5 (Master) installed. In CS3 we had a nice "Open Bridge" button in Acrobat who has disapeared for C5. Is there a possibility to enable this one again? I looked the options and tools in both bridge and Acrobat, but found no hint!
    Lucien.

    Is there any way to ensure that the panel is open automatically when a form is opened? I tried including the referenced code in the formReady event but it didn't seem to work.

  • Where did the "Highlight Existing Fields" button go (Acrobat DC)?

    Where did the "Highlight Existing Fields" button go (Acrobat DC)?

    Adobe removed the forms message bar, which is where the field highlighting toggle button was. It turns out that the following user preference works as a toggle as well despite the confusing description:
    Edit > Preferences > Forms > Highlight Color > Show border hover color for fields
    You can also toggle it with the following JavaScript:
    app.runtimeHighlight = !app.runtimeHighlight;
    You can add this to a custom menu item or toolbar button to provide an easier means to toggle it.

  • Create a toolbar/button in Acrobat 8.0

    I am sorry for my rather simple title, but at this stage I do not know what I am looking for.
    I want to give the possibility for someone using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 pro to be able to save a pdf document they currently have open into a database.
    For example in Office this is simple, I created an addin that got the document or email as an object and I sent the object to my MS Access database.  MS Access then saves the file somewhere and I upload the file with the known path.
    But maybe there is a simple way maybe I can create a button that saves the pdf in a special place and then signals either the MS Access database or even a small .dll/exe I have that this button has been clicked and then this .dll/exe can wake up the MSAccess databae and tell it to do some work.
    Any help would be greatl appreciated.

    Ok so spoon feeding is not an option in this forum.
    So could someone humour me with at least the "yes" word or "no" word.
    I can create a toolbar button which will automatically load when Acrobat loads by making a Plug-in?
    If my Target "Acrobat" family member is Acrobat Standard 8.1.5 (note not pro) I need to get the 8.0/8.1 SDK to help me?
    My Plug-in is going to be written in Visual Studio 2005/2008?
    I must learn/use C/C++ for my plugin language?
    I will compile the .dll and then make it an .api file extension?
    To give my .api to someone else I need only put it into the ...\Adobe\Acrobat\plug_ins?
    This .api does not need to be registered (regsvr32) or something like that in the Windows registry?
    I am sure that might lead to further questions but it is a good start so I know what to google to find out how to do it, and then get some sample code.

  • Restore Preview Button in Acrobat 9

    Using Acrobat 9 on Mac OS 10.6.8.
         Previously when I opened a file in Acrobat and chose Add or Edit Fields it opened in the edit mode and at the top I had a button "Preview" to switch between Preview and Edit mode.
         Now that Preview button has been replaced with a question mark (?).
         So in order to see the preview I have to close form editing.
         Does anyone know how to restore that Preview button?
         Any help would be appreciated.

    I don't use the distribution feature. Is it in Designer? You may have to ask in the LiveCycle forum (the one for Designer).

  • Creating button in Acrobat 9 form that will email form

    Working on Mac:
    I have created a button in my Acrobat 9 pdf form that has the following action:
    Execute a menu item: File>attach to Email
    When I click on the button it will take me to my email where it is attached and I can send it to somebody. However my HR department works on a PC and it does not work when she clicks on the button. The Reset form and Print forms work fine.
    What can I do to make this work. I do not want a submit button because this form will be filled out by various people who will then email on to their supervisors. I just thought it would be easier for them to have a button to push.
    Thanks.

    The answer will depend on whether the form needs to work with Reader and maybe what version of Acrobat/Reader your users will have. If it needs to work with Reader, the form has to be Reader-enabled, which is an additional step you do as the final step in Acrobat before sending the form to your recipients. Exactly how you do this depends on the version of Acrobat you're using.
    The best approach for your button would be to use the mailDoc JavaScript method, which allows you to set the subject of the email, the recipients (including cc and bcc), and the body of the email. This has been discussed a number of times here before, so you may find more with a search. Post again if you can't find anything.
    You can also use a "Submit a Form" action or the corresponding submitForm JavaScript method, and specify the email address of the recipient using a mailto type URL. This is less flexible than using mailDoc, but is simpler so it may have its virtues.
    Also, not that when responding by email, private info you have in your email signature can get posted to the forum, which you may not want since it's open to the world. You also cannot attach files here, so if you want someone to be able to retrieve it, you'll have to post it somewhere else and provide a link, or get someone to send you their email address so you can send it that way.

  • Submit button in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I am using the Forms wizard in Acrobat 9 Pro. The recipients that have Acrobat Reader open the form and see a SUBMIT button on the purple ribbon. The users that have Pro do not get a SUBMIT button. How do we get the Pro users to see a SUBMIT button without having to create one?

    I used the forms wizard and it created a button on the top. I am using Windows XP with Acrobat 9 Pro.

  • Adding interactive buttons in Acrobat X Standard disables the Commenting and markup tools

    Why does adding interactive buttons to PDFs in Acrobat X Standard disable the Commenting and markup tools in the PDFs, but only when they are viewed in the Reader, not when opened in Acrobat?  When the buttons are removed, the Commenting and markup tools are re-enabled in Reader.
    Thank you.

    You might try with out the mailto in front but I believe in order for it to be sent to an e-mail address you need the mailto:
    test this with a Friend. To see how it works.
    As "Test Screen" recommends in a Post after mine, I don't endorse submitting to e-mail address. I'm just showing the method.
    When I was Treasurer in an Electronics association. I used submit to e-mail address only I used FDF and the person using kept a Blank copy of the Form on his computer. And it worked well. But this was back before there were so many security risk involved
