Hello there,
I created a fillable form successfully in Acrobat, however when I attempt to change the action button from Print to Save As the document opened in LiveCycle. The forms toolbar is grayed out in Acrobat and I am not able to edit. I do not see how to add the same action button in LiveCycle. The students who will be submitting this form will not be using a stand alone client, rather web based mail and I want to stay away from that kind of submit button. I do not understand why this button isn't editable in Acrobat, and why do I get re-directed to LiveCycle? I could find nothing in LiveCycle help that addressed this.
I recreated the form from the beginning so I could put the correct button, (with Save As to create a PDF and attach it to webmail). Seems like a lot of extra work.

Thank you, I appreciate any help here.

Joan

An AcroForm can be edited in LiveCycle Designer but all AcroForm JavaScripts will be disabled and one will have to review each script and correct any differences between the two products.

A LiveCycle Designer form can not be edited in Acrobat.

In LiveCycle Designer, look at the "Library" tab for a list of fields. There is a "Button" wich will create a button for which you can provide any code as needed. The defined "Submit" buttons provided has very litttle room for modifications, so if one needs a more complex subission process than a web address, one needs to us the generic "button" and provide the necessary code for the desired action.
