I would like to add a button similar to Reset Form and Print Form buttons easily available to my fillable form.

I am new to this product and just haven’t seen the How To that might accomplish this.

Adobe has placed a security restriction to that action to prevent an unknown or untrusted form from being saved to a remote computer. See Thom Parker's article [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript]How to save a PDF with Acrobat JavaScript[/url]. Each user of this form will need to install the "Application Folder Level Function" on their system.

If you just want a simple Save As dialogue to come up putting the following JavaScript: [b]app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");[/b] on the click event of a button will work.
