It's not as straightforward as it looks

In PDF Form Reset Tricks I described why I prefer using a script instead of the Reset a form function built in to the field properties of the Acrobat user interface. One of the advantages is that you can name all the fields you want to reset and push them into an array. While the built-in Reset a form function allows you to select the fields you want to reset, the problems comes when you create more fields after the fact. They are automatically added to the list. So you either have to make sure the reset button is the last thing you do to the form, or you have to remember to go back and unselect fields that have been created since you added the reset button. The scripting method does not have this problem.
