Reader users to save data xml file

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

  we can email the data xml file through the form without reader extending it. Thats fine. Instead of emailing it, I just want to save the data xml file to my local system.

What is the syntax to get it? To email it, I generally create a submit button and in the submittoURL field, we write mailto:abc@xyz.com.

What to write to save it to local computer instead of emailing it? I tried saveto: C:\NewFolder or fileto:C:\NewFolder. Nothing works. I think I'm missing the right syntax here.

I know its possible by RE the pdf, you can acheive it using savedataXML(). I want to achieve this without RE to form.

Thanks in advance,

The best you can do is set up a submitForm action and use a mailto type URL. This will prompt the user to attach it to an email using their email client or save it to a file.
