I created a document, with digital signatures, that is stored on a server and accessed through a web page. When the user opens the form and fills it out he must then digitally sign the document and save the file over the existing file. When the user clicks on the signature field, it automatically comes up with a save as screen. Is there a way to automatically save the document with the signature without allowing the user to decide where to save it?

the document is a controlled population. they will log in to a web page and fill in a little info, including a case#, which will then open the document automatically(which we copy a blank form in a folder that corresponds to a case#)and cause of this, we need the document to save over the top of itself with no prompting.

In Acrobat JavaScript the field object has a "signatureSign" function. To be able to use this function to save the PDF to a specific location it has to be run from a privileged context, i.e., this cannot be done from a document script. It has to be done from a folder level trustedFunction.
Here's a couple of articles that will help:

You can look up using the signatureSign function in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference

I really have absolutely no idea how to do any of what those articles are saying. I have never programmed and can't do any of what needs to be done. is there an after market program that would allow me to get acrobat to automate the save as? it would just take me forever to learn to program and I don't have the time.

the script is not complex, but do this you'll need hire a developer. You can put a posting on the Job board.
