I have recently created a PDF form for cataloguing stock. I have it saving, printing using drop-downs etc
 
My client has asked me if there is a way that when you click save as link within the form, that it takes the serial number and automatically use this information as the file name e.g. '1200384.pdf'
 
I know this can be done I have spent hours trawling through the internet and now my hopes are pinned on the legends that type these walls.

You should familiarize yourself with the doc.saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.php

In particular, note the restrictions on privileged versus non-privileged context.
