In Acrobat 9, we have used a button for Save As so that an employee can save the entire completed form in their computer files and then email the entire form to another staff member. A good example would be a Performance Appraisal Form sent to a supervisor.

I can't find a way to do that in LiveCycle without using script. Does anyone have suggestions - or examples of script they have used to accomplish this Save As function.

Put the following on the Click event of a button (javascript):
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

In fact, you definitively will need a script to do this with a button in LCD.

Simplest method is to trigger the menu item "save as" from the file menu with a click on a button.
The script therefore is the following one:
app.execMenuItem("saveAs");

While doing so make sure that no variables in the form, are left without an initial value.
if any variable has been defined, but not initialised, the SAVE AS script will not work
