I have a javascript that adds a watermark, then adds security via the encryptUsingPolicy command. When I go to save the document using a privledged function, I get an error and cannot save. Do I need to do something different to save a document after applying security?
 
Thanks

Is this running inside an Action (you posted in the Action forum...)?
What error are you getting? What code are you using?

Sorry, I think I may have posted this in the wrong forum. I am running this from a standard javascript. I use the try statement with a catch, and the catch is being executed, so I am not sure what error I am getting.

So either remove the try-catch clause, or use the exception object to print the error message to the console.

The error I get is as follows:
RaiseError: This file must be saved with a full save.

Here is the saveas code:
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction(
function(oDoc,cFlName)
{
app.beginPriv();
try{
oDoc.saveAs({cPath: cFlName,
bCopy: true});
}catch(e){
app.alert("Error During Save");
}
app.endPriv();
});

Accepted Answer
My guess is that the problem is with the bCopy parameter. Is there a reason why you're using it?

Why are you not showing the error message text as part of the alert?

function(oDoc,cFlName)
{
app.beginPriv();
try{
oDoc.saveAs({cPath: cFlName,
bCopy: true});
}catch(e){
var cMsg = "Error During Save\n";
if (app.viewerVersion < 6) {
cMsg += e.toString();
} else {
for (i in e) {
cMsg += i + ": " e[i]) + "\n";
}
app.alert(cMsg, 0, 0);
}
app.endPriv();
});

What is the code that is calling this function?

The bCopy was in there from an earlier version. I made some changes to the code and never took it out. Turns out the bCopy was the problem, and all is working now!!! Thanks for your help!!!
