This is a known issue, and actually something one can consider to be a bug which got fixed.
In order to use buttons, you must allow to fill in form fields. In older Acrobat versions, this has not been properly respected, allowing to activate buttons even if the forms fill-in rights were not granted.
The workaround is to change the security settings to allow form fill-in.
Hope, this can help.

I have a online system that creates PDFs on our web server, using the ActivePDF Toolkit.
Upon a users completion of a form, I create an uneditable form. The form has a button on it. Here is how I set the security up from the ActivePDF Toolkit function(Delphi code)...
PDFfile.SetOutputSecurity128(Password, OwnerPassword, // user & owner password True, // canPrint False, // canEdit True, // canCopy False, // canModify False, // canFillInFormFields False, // canMakeAccessible False, // canAssemble False); // canReproduce
When a user opens up this file using Acrobat 5, he can hit the button that submits a request to the web server. It works fine.
But when a Acrobat 6 user tries to hit the button, nothing happens. It seems as if the security for 6 doesnt allow the submit button to work.
Does anyone know what the problem is, or if there is any "work around"? I've tied all kinds of different combinations o fthe above settings, but I can never get it so the text fields are unedittable, and the submit button works in 6.
