You can add buttons with Acrobat JavaScript or a plug-in.

Look at 'Introduction to SDK' in the Acrobat SDK ([url]http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/[/url]).

As Bernd recommends, you need to start by downloading the Acrobat SDK which has all documentation, sample code, etc.

HOWEVER, in order to develop a plugin for Adobe Reader, there are two things you are going to run into very quickly.

* You MUST use C/C++. C# is not supported.
* You MUST get a (paid for) license from Adobe Systems in order for your plugin to run. (there is no cost to develop a plugin for Adobe Acrobat, however).
