Save As Script for a Button

Avatar

Not applicable
I am looking for the script to place on a button enabling it to save a .pdf form as a "Save As". Furthermore, I would like to have the form saved with a file name based upon the value of a specific field used on the form. Hopefully I am in the right forum to solve this.

Hi,



You will need Reader Extensions for this or users with Acrobat.



You can save the form data locally with:



xfa.host.exportData ("",0);



The first parameter is the file name. You will be able to use a field to specifiy the name. See the documentation on exportData.



loadData will load it into an empty form.



Good Luck

Hi Scott,

Please refer to this post for this action:

You'll have to use a "trusted function" and place this in a javascript file in a certain folder on the users computer.
