So here's what I did... I created in Acrobat a new PDF file with a button that has the icon I want to use. I load that file in my app and copy the AppearanceCharacteristics and NormalAppearance map from that button into variables. Then I create the button in my main file and apply these two objects to its widget. So far as good... I then save the mail file and close both of them. When I open the main file in Acrobat I can see the icon I've copied under the Properties of the button field, but it's not visible on the page itself. I also set "NeedAppearances" to TRUE, just for good measure, but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
