Any ideas for fixing button labels not displaying in Acrobat?

I've created a new button in Acrobat Professional 8.0 and added javascript to specify silent printing for a range of pages in the document. The button works, but it is not displaying the label I've provided. The tooltip displays fine. I have set the appearance to be visible but not print and I've tried adjusting the appearance settings to no avail. Any ideas?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.6, Windows

Hi dkueker,

That's a new one for me. I create buttons all the time and have never seen the Label not show up.

Just to clarify since you only mention the Appearance tab options, under the "Options" Tab in the Properties dialog for the button you have entered a Label in the "Label" text box in the Icon and Label section of that dialog and it does not appear on the button?

Dimitri,

Thank you! Sometimes, it's like I have blinders on when I'm trying to solve the simplest of problems. That was the issue. Usually, I add in buttons in the LiveCycle interface, with a 453 page document it was taking forever.

Thanks again!
