Need help for automated import/export of comments in XFDF

Question

Hi !
I created 2 Buttons on my toolbar. One for send comments and one for receive comments! If I click the send button, a window opens and ask for the directory where I want to save the xfdf file.
How can i realize, that I can save the xfdf-file automatic in a folder, which is specified in the javascript file? The same for import!
In web I found:
cExec: "this.importAnXFDF({bAnnotations: true, cPath: /c/PDFTest/Demo.xfdf});",     and
cExec: "this.exportAsXFDF({bAnnotations: true, cPath: /c/PDFTest/Demo.xfdf});",
but if click the button...nothing happens. How can I implement this??
This is the sourcecode of the created config.js file
var strtest= "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" + // 0
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" + // 1

Please help!!  Thanks

Answer 1

Doc is the type of object, so you would not use Doc.exportAsXFDF.
In most cases you can use "this", but be careful as "this" will not always refer to the current document, it will refer to whatever object you are currently working within the parameters of.
The security restrictions are quite clear, but I will sum up just to be sure.  You CAN specify the cPath parameter in the following conditions:
Batch Process
Running the code manually from the console
Executing exportAsXFDF through an OLE call via the JSObject from an external application written in C/C++/C#/VB.NET/etc.
Those are the ONLY times that you can specify the cPath parameter in the exportAsXFDF call.  If you try to specify it in any other instance, the call will fail and nothing will be exported.  This means that you CAN NOT specify the cPath parameter from a document-level script, folder-level script, menu item call, etc.
