I have a document with Reset Button, Print, Next Page, etc. What I would like to do is - Extract this particular page then email the extracted page to my customer. But, I do not want the Buttons to appear in his email. Is there a way, a javascript, some way to exclude the buttons so they do not appear in the email? Some one please let me know. Thanks.

Are your clients using Reader to view the files, or Acrobat? If Reader, then the only way you can extract a single page from a document is by deleting all the other ones.
Regarding the button: It's theoretically possible to delete a button after it was clicked, but I think it's dangerous since the application might crash while trying to execute code that is connected with a button that doesn't exist anymore. I think a better option would be to hide the buttons and then submit the file.

You should "flatten" the page using this free tool : http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=en&pg=15;-)
