Changing button colour in Acrobat form makes text invisible

I'm trying to add buttons to save and print a PDF form (ideally just one specific page of it, but that's very much the ambitious option at the moment), but while the text on them is visible in the editor, it (along with the button borders) disappears in the fillable form.

The only thing I have changed is the Fill Colour in the appearance settings:

Any idea what could be the problem and how to fix it?

Solution 1:

You have only specified a name for your button, but the text which appears on a button is not its name, but the "Label".

This must be set in "Button Properties -> Options -> Label".

In my image, the name of the button is "Test Button" (set in the "General" tab), while the label is "Go to somewhere". The font options (set in the "Appearance" tab) will apply to the label, not to the name.
