Save button script not working

execMenuItem only takes one parameter, the name of the menu item to execute.
You can't use it to specify a folder to the Save As command.

I would forget about a script and just place a shortcut in the default save folder to C:\Temp.

Well actually, what you can do, is use the saveAs command of the Document object (in a trusted context), and attach it to a button. That could work...

Could you describe or give an example of what you mean by in a 'trusted context'? Thanks for the response.

See this tutorial: Save PDF with JavaScript

Thom,
I created the .js file and I see the JS Ref in the Help menu. But after I add the code on the tutorial:

var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction(
function(oDoc,cPath,cFlNmame)
{
app.beginPriv();
// Ensure path has trailing "/"
cPath = cPath.replace(/([^/])$/, "$1/");
try{
oDoc.saveAs(cPath + cFlName);
}catch(e){
app.alert("Error During Save");
}
app.endPriv();
});

I get the following error...
SyntaxError: unterminated character class [
11:Folder-Level:User:MM app.jsunterminated character class [

There is a bug in this code. The input parameter "cFlNmame" should be "cFlName"

Fixed the input parameter name, but the error is still there. The error is on this line of code:

cPath = cPath.replace(/([^/])$/, "$1/");


SyntaxError: unterminated character class [
10:Folder-Level:User:MM app.jsunterminated character class [

Hmm, yes there is an error in the regular expression:( Obviously the "/" needs to be escaped.

cPath = cPath.replace(/([^\/])$/, "$1/");

Sorry about that.

Thank you Thom. I got it to work using gkaiseril code on the tutorial page. But his code renames the file to MyNewPdf.pdf.

How can I resave over the existing file that I'm working on? I took out making the array, removing file name and rebuilding file name from gkaiseril's original code. When I save now, I get an During Save message.

// mouse up action script to call the trusted mySaveAs function
// First make sure the function exists
if(typeof(mySaveAs) == "function") {
var sPath = this.path; // get path including file name and type
// save this doc, in sPath

mySaveAs(this,sPath, this.path);
} else {
app.alert("Missing Save Function\n" +
"Please contact forms administrator");
}
// end button mouse up action

The "MySaveAs" function takes the file path and the file name as separate parameters. So, from your first post you should call it like this:

mySaveAs(this, "/c/temp/", this.documentFileName);

Thanks Thom, that worked great!

Thom,
i've read on the forum that it's not possible to have a script to delete a file. Right now, after the file gets saved into another directory, the same file exists in the original directory. Is it possible to Cut or Remove that file?

I've tried the following document level script.

function remove()
{
var myObject;
myObject = new ActiveXObject('this.documentFileName');
var f = myObject.GetFile('this.documentFileName');
f.Delete();
}
and called the function at the end of the Save button, but it's not getting removed.

Acrobat JavaScript can't delete, cut or paste a file.
