"Save" Button that saves file as value inside # Field

Hi,

please check out the forums search.
There are already several threads for this purpose such as

Hi,
Thanks for the links, it is starting to make a little more sense.
I had a question about the following post.

The only way this save feature will work is if the directory is hard coded in the process or can it be if they have a folder named this that it will work.

If there is no way to avoid hard coding the directory, is there a way to have prompt a pop up that says "would you like to save the file" "yes or no. When they select yes, then the save as box pops up to allow them to map where they would like to save the file.


thanks,

Hi George,

You are great. After I enabled Adobe Reader Usage rights in Acrobat Pro, this worked. So to summarize all of this back and forth:

Folder level Config.js file: Applied at location - C:\Program Files\adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts

Code:
//DateTime function
function myDateString() {

return util.printd("yyyymmdd_HHMMss", new Date());

}

// SaveAs Function
var mySaveDoc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) {

app.beginPriv();
var myPath = app.getPath("user", "documents") + "/WebRequestFiles/" + myDateString() + ".pdf";

// saveAs is the only privileged code that needs to be enclosed
// with beginPriv/endPriv
doc.saveAs(myPath);
app.endPriv();

});

Inline JavaScript: Applied to "regular" button click event

Code:
// SaveAs and close this document
mySaveDoc(event.target);

I have one more question :)
Is there any way possible to change the save to directory to a shared network drive? Or is it only possible to target the user's document directory.

Thank you so much. You saved my life on this one.

Jessica

Hi,

you can also can use scripting to build the save paths dynamically.
Check this sample in my blog.
It has a subform "FileParameters" on the master page that sourrounds several fields I used to build save paths for the current directory of the file and for the "my documents" directory.
