Hi,

I am using app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); for Save button on my PDF form.
But I want to give a pre-defined name with a timestamp when the Save button clicked. (i.e. using original file name (e.x. test.pdf) and system date&time. (e.x. test_12.09.2008_12.46.30.pdf)

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

From script within a document you cannot. It simply cannot be done because of security restrictions.

If you're script was run from a privileged context you could use the "saveAS()" function that's a memeber of the Acrobat JavaScript Document Object to set the file name. But otherwise it's not possible.
