Creating button fields

Of all the field types, button fields have the broadest use. You can add buttons on PDF forms to perform a variety of actions associated with filling out a form or you can use buttons on PDF documents not intended for form use. Buttons can be used for items in any PDF such as navigational tools in a PDF design, hyperlinks for a variety of different actions, and just about any other condition that sparks your imagination.

To create a button field:

1. Select the Button tool from the Nitro PDF Professional toolbar.
2. Drag open a rectangle where you want the button to appear.
3. Name the field and assign appearance settings.
4. Set the options. If you want to use an icon appearance or have text appear inside the button, make choices in the Options category.
5. Select the trigger. By default the Mouse Up behavior is assigned. In most cases you'll want to leave the trigger action as the default.
6. Assign an action. Open the Select Action drop down menu and choose an action to assign to the button.
