    PdfAcroFormFacade acroForm = documentFacade.AcroForm;

    //Obtain button form field parameters:
    PdfButtonFormFieldFacade pushButton = acroForm.GetButtonFormField("Submit");

    //Retrieve form field widget:
    PdfButtonWidgetFacade buttonWidget = pushButton.Widgets[0];

    //Change widget's color options:
    buttonWidget.BorderWidth = 1;
    buttonWidget.BackgroundColor = new PdfRGBColor(0.81, 0.81, 0.81);
    buttonWidget.BorderColor = new PdfRGBColor(0.47, 0.44, 0.67);
    buttonWidget.FontColor = new PdfRGBColor(0.34, 0.25, 0.36);
}

Use the following methods to specify a button icon:

The PdfButtonWidgetIconOptions class properties allow you to specify icon display and scale options. Use the PdfButtonWidgetFacade.IconOptions property to get these options.

    pdfDocumentProcessor.LoadDocument("Documents//FormDemo.pdf");

    PdfDocumentFacade documentFacade = pdfDocumentProcessor.DocumentFacade;
    PdfAcroFormFacade acroForm = documentFacade.AcroForm;

    //Change all form fields' color settings:
    var fields = acroForm.GetFields();
    foreach (PdfFormFieldFacade field in fields)
    {
        ChangeFormFieldColor(field);
    }

    //Obtain button form field parameters:
    PdfButtonFormFieldFacade pushButton = acroForm.GetButtonFormField("Submit");
    PdfButtonWidgetFacade buttonWidget = pushButton.Widgets[0];

    //Specify a button icon and set its options:
    buttonWidget.SetNormalIcon("Documents//submit_3802014.png");
    buttonWidget.IconOptions.FitToAnnotationBounds = true;
    buttonWidget.IconOptions.ScaleCondition = PdfIconScalingCircumstances.BiggerThanAnnotationRectangle;
