How do I set a form button (i.e., reset button) to view but not print?

Every form field, including the button field has a property to specify how the field is displayed on the page. To change the display properties, open the field properties dialog box (Figure 1 shows the Button Properties) and select "Visible but doesn't print" from the Form Field Common Properties.
