I need help for this following situation -
1. User logs in, accesses a PDF form from the server, fills it.
2. On clicking the custom save button, the javascript that runs should save the PDF file onto a location on the server. This location is mentioned in the saveAs method in the javascript.
The problem here is - where do i install the folder level javascript?? While trying it out locally on my machine, i installed the folder level script into the Javascripts folder present in the appplication's directory.
Can the same be done on the server??
Could you please explain it stepwise? I'm quite new to scripting on Acrobat.
Eagerly awaiting for your response

Hi Try67,
I don't intend to do so. I just need the user(s) to be able to access a PDF form, fill it and save it back on to the server. Any other way out?

The trusted saveAs script must be saved on the user's local machine. It can't be accessed via the server.

Thanks try67. There's also export as "PDF The Complete Document" option to use while performing the "Submit the form" action using the button. But in this case can you tell me what should be the URL like??
Should it point to a php script file?? Could you tell me the functions i can use in the php script file?
Regards..

Sorry, I'm not proficient enough in PHP to help you with that.

Yes, the URL needs to point to a PHP script. The script would take the contents of the incoming POST and save it to a file on the server. Exactly how you do this is PHP-dependent, but it's fairly simple. One of the HTTP headers will give the content length in bytes, so all you have to do is read that many bytes into a buffer and save the buffer to a file, using some sort of naming convention to avoid overwriting existing files.
