Add menuitem to save a PDF

Here's a folder level function that can be called from a menu item for saving the file. Place this in the Config.js file.

However, you could also call this function from a Toolbar Button, which can appear in the browser window.

Thanks Thom,

I just thought of something...if I create this button or menu item, is there any way to include in the function to "enhance for reader".

The problem comes when the user "enhances" the PDF (which I need them to do). When you choose "enhance", it immediately prompts a dialog to "save now" but when the user does this, the saveas dialog appears with a specific folder path AND the filename is the original name BUT with extended characters on the end of the name.

Example:

Original filename: myPDF.pdf
Saveas: myPDF(1).pdf

I'm trying to avoid the user from having to do too much so as to prevent errors in where and how the file gets saved.

Hi Thom,

Updating my earlier post...I have it working now, just wondering how in the code I can use the file's original name, stripping off the uneeded characters.

Is there syntax for setting the original filename?

There is one last thing that needs resolving.

When the user OPENS a PDF, they are opening the file from a link in a browser directly with Acrobat Pro.

When they do this, the file is being renamed with a "(??)" where "??" is a number.

Example:

Original Filename: Mytest.pdf
Opening the File, filename becomes "Mytest[1].pdf"

Does anyone know in the script how I can remove the [1] from the filename to retain the original filename?

Thanks

I haven't tried this, but it may work. Setup the PDF to display the title instead of the file name.

We are using iText to build the PDF so I have added the following to the code that produces the PDF:

document.addTitle(FileName);

In a folder level javascript file is the following:

var mySaveFn = app.trustedFunction(function(doc)
{
app.beginPriv();
var FileName = doc.info.title;
app.alert(doc.info.title);
var FilePath = "network_folder_path";
doc.saveAs(FilePath + FileName);
app.endPriv();
});

I tested it and it works perfectly...many thanks again Thom!!!
