Scipt to save pdf to ftp.

Acrobat does not implement FTP, so it cannot communicate with an FTP server.

It does implement HTTP, so you can submit the entire PDF to a script on a server. It also implements WebDav, so you can save your file to a server that also implements this protocal.

thanks for the response, what would be the best way to accomplish this?

Many of the Acrobat JavaScript functions that use file paths offer the ability to read/write from/to a WebDav server. I haven't used this particular functionality so I don't know how well it works. But supposidly, if everything is setup properly it's just like reading and writing to the local disk.

I have used submitForm to send files to a server script. From the document, just submit the entire PDF. Then on the server side you need a script to extract out all the HTTP Request bytes, in the body, and write them to a file.

Thanks again, one last thing. Do you have an example of a script that I can look at?

If you've done CGI/server scripting then it shouldn't be a problem to write a script to extract the body bytes from a request. If you haven't, then this is a whole new thing for you to learn. And this is not the forum for that topic.

I would suggest finding out which scripting environments are set up for your server, PHP, ColdFusion, Perl, ASP, ASP.NET, etc. Then pick one and get a book .

If you want to avoid writing any code, then I'd suggest looking into WebDav. See if it's already set up on your server and look up information on how to format an URL to reference a WebDav site. This might be the easier route.

server is setup with .net but will do some more research thanks for the reponse again.
