I have attempted to create a button in a form that would "Execute a Menu item" and do a file save as.
And then enable for Adobe Reader. But nothing happens?

The next step is I would like to save the file as an FDF. We have multiple test forms that we fill out but all the customer info for a given job remains the same for the entire job. So the user could reuse that same customer info on several forms.

So please help with how to setting up a button to do a "save as" and then is it possible to save it in some form so I can import that data into another form??

- Executing a menu item needs to be done from a secured environment when called from a form field.
You should be aware that it will not save the file, just prompt the user to save it.
- You can't enable Reader rights with a script.
- You can use the exportAsFDF method to save a file as FDF (again, under certain security restrictions).
