Adding a submit button and it's not showing up

[Kristen2810]

I created a PDF from a Word document that has two images at the top. I want those images to be my submit and print buttons.



When I add a new button and make it invisible it acts like the button isn't even there. Any ideas on why this isn't working?

By making it invisible you are basically removing all user interactivity with the object.



Instead, try changing the properties of the button to make it match the background of your form and then it will appear invisible. Go to the borders palette and remove all borders as well as set the background fill to None ....and also remove the caption. This shoudl allow your button to work correctly.

Thanks Paul. It worked great! I figured it was something simple.

Paul,



Another question: When I roll over the button, it just says Button 1 even though I entered a roll over caption. Any idea why that's not changing?

By default it is using the caption as the tooltip. You can control that by opening the accessability palette and setting a tooltip then set the screen reader precedence to tooltip.



Or you can simply change the caption of the field (if appropriate).

Thanks again Paul! Worked like a charm!
