You cannot save without user intervention. You will have to bring up the file dialog to have your user select.

Paul can you please explain further on what you mean by user intervention.

Where exactly do I go to make that change.

I am very new to AL-D and I having problems with Mac users that can not save the form.

Take care,

You can force the Save As dialog to come up but you cannot choose or suggest a filename for the user. The user must choose a file or create

a new file name.

If you are trying to save the PDF and your users are using Reader then you will have to Reader Extend the form to allow that functionality as Reader does not allow that by default. If you are only saving the data then I believe that it is OK.

Make sure that the Mac users are using Adobe Reader and not Apple's Preview software .....Preview does not support XFA forms very well.
