Creating SAVE button

[Former Community Member]

Hi, has anyone has any idea how to create a customised button for saving the PDF file instead of going thru FILE/SAVE from the main menu. Designer 7 has a few default buttons e.g. Submit, Print but not SAVE or SAVE AS. Any example would be much appreciated! Many thanks.

Hi Billy,



You can call on the SaveAs function on the "Click" event of a Regular button, using a script like



app.executeMenuItem("SaveAs")



A good reference for methods like this is "Converting Acrobat® JavaScript for Use in LiveCycle Designer Forms" (which you can google for).

Maybe an idea for giving a name of the document as a parameter for save as function, so that the name you want to write down the document with, would be not some strange digits and letters but what I want?
