PDF export to selective Path

Question

Hi Everybody,
I tried this below code to export my PDF, in a specific location defined in script.
But, I could only receive the error"cant find the folder location"~C:\\Documents and Settings\Wande\Desktop\Wander_2.pdf".
when i tried using the same script in MAC, it works, but in Windows, it is not.
myFolder = "~C:\\Documents and Settings\Wande\Desktop\Wander_2\";
  var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//var myPath = myDoc.filePath;
// I want to save the PDF in my specific location (myFolder) and not inside the document path (myDoc.filePath).
var myDocname = myDoc.name.split(".indd");
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(new File(myFolder+"\\" + myDocname.join(".pdf"))));
Please help on this forum.

Hi wander,
try the below modifed js code.
//If you want to choose the folder location and save the file. Use the below line.
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog();
//You want  default location use the below line.
var myFolder = "~\Desktop";
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocname = myDoc.name.split(".indd");
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(new File(myFolder+"\\" + myDocname.join(".pdf"))));
