App.executeMenuItem("SaveAs")

I have a Reader Extended PDF form and I am trying to script a button to use the SaveAs method. Is it possible to specify a default filename using app.executeMenuItem("SaveAs")? By default, it uses the PDF form name.
If it is possible, is there any way to suppress the Save As dialog from appearing?

It should work but the form must be Reader EXtended or opened in Acrobad.

  • [JS CS3, Win] Saving InDesign using app.activeDocument.save

    Hello.
    I am having problems saving an InDesign document using Javascript.
    My aim is to have a box in the document where I will type the filename and path where I want the InDesign file to be saved (eventually this will be generated from a datamerge).
    I then want to run a script which will read the contents of the box and then save the document to that filename or location.
    At the moment I have:
    //SaveText.jsx
    //An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
    //Saves the document to the provided path
    //get contents of the FileNameBox box on the document
    var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
    //now save
    app.activeDocument.save("/"+ varFileName+".indd");
    //alert (app.activeDocument.filePath);
    When I run the script (with "Hello" in the FileNameBox) the file changes name on the top bar of InDesign to "Hello.indd", but (when I run the commented out alert at the end) the file is not actually saving anywhere.
    If I close InDesign and then open it the file is listed under "Open Recent" on the menu, but clicking it does nothing - again the file doesn't exist.
    Does anyone have any ideas to help me from tearing my hair out?
    Where is my file saving? (Or, if it isn't, how can I make it save!).
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    var myFolder = new Folder("~/Desktop/Test");
    if (!myFolder.exist) myFolder.create();
    var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
    app.activeDocument.save(myFolder.fsName + "\\" + varFileName+".indd");
    alert(app.activeDocument.filePath);

  • HT201272 Where can I find the app password saver by yonglin wang.  i wanted to restore my iphone and i had purchased this app and it is not anywhere in my purchases to reload.  Why is it not on my list of purchases?

    Where can I find the app "password Saver" by yonglin wang?  while updating my iphone the app was dropped for some reason.  I went to reload from my purchased apps and it is not available.  The history shows my purchase but I can not find the app to reload.  I've lost some critical info and need to retreive if possible.  Any suggestions?

    You tried what ? If the app is no longer available in the store (can you find it in the main part of the store ?) for re-downloading then you would need to have a copy of it somewhere e.g. on your computer's iTunes, on a backup of your downloads.

  • Reader 9 app.execMenuItem ("SaveAs") throw: The document could not be...

    I have a compatibility problem with Reader 9.
    I have designed a PDF with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1. and a button, the JS code:
    app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
    But if I use Reader 9, get the error message:
    "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (105)."  (if I use Reader 7 or 8 version works).
    Why? How do I solve this?
    Thank you!

    Hi guys
    Exactly, if you save from the standard menu options (File > SaveAs) gives exactly the same error.
    After giving the error, if I try to save again it saves correctly!
    Step by step, the process:
    1. Download the PDF of a web application.
    2. IE download process question if: Open? or Save? document.
    3. Choose Open.
    4. In Reader (or Acrobat) 9 go to File> SaveAs -> and click on "save" produces the error.
    What does the message: "There was a problem reading this document (105)."?
    Why occurs only with version 9 of Acrobat or Reader?
    Add an image of the  case described, to illustrate it better:
    Document properties:
    Certainly it is very hard to work with this Adobe technology... not control what happens within Acrobat / Reader and errors arise "unexplained" or seemingly meaningless.
    Each new version is a real headache

    Close inactive apps

    2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
    3. The app will fly off the screen

    How do i close open apps to save my battery using ios7

    Double click the home button to bring up the multitask bar, hold one app icon until they all start to shake, hit the little minus icon to close the app. Click on the home button to get back to the home screen again.
    In most of the cases deleting the mail account and setting it up again can cure the battery drain. There have been cases in which the mail app got stuck trying to connect to the server over and over again, causing the drain.

    Double tap the home button, then when in multitasking view take your index finger and swipe up on a card to completely exit the app. Same goes for safari but instead of swiping up swipe to the left or tap the x icon when you are in the multi page view.

  • App.execMenuItem("SaveAs") don't work in docready event

    Hi all, I create a dynamic PDF using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1.1 The client uploaded the document to it server and the users download the document via a website. I added the "app.execMenuItem("SaveAs")" command to the docReady event, the user must save the document before he/she complete it. The save as popup work 100% fine if the docuemt is opened in Adobe reader or Prof. but when the document is opened in a browser the popup don't appear. any suggestions? Regards, Chris

  • Programmatically using the app.execMenuItem "SaveAs" and "Close"

    I am using Acrobat XI pro licensed...
    I created a custom action with one step (Execute Javascript), after all the code runs I added a SaveAs and a Close.  It prompts me to save the document, which I do successfully, but directly after I save it, it pops up and tells me that the action is not complete and asks if I want to exit the action.  See below....
    1) Code as it is in the script (last 5 lines of it)
    // Document SaveAs command
    app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
    // Document Close command
    app.execMenuItem("Close");
    2) Error Pic
    When I click "Yes" here, I get the "Adobe Stopped working" error Shown below.
    My Question is this  >>  How do I get the error to go away?

    I think you need to stop trying to close the file. The action has not finished, and taking away the controlling document is likely to lead to bad things.

  • Close down apps to save memory

    A friend said double click on start button I assume she means home button n then a minus comes up and click on that to shut down apps to save memory please help

    While you could be correct, your guess is as good as anyone's who doesn't have direct knowledge of what's going on inside the box.  If you get better results by shutting down certain apps, that's fine.
    But for the crashes you're describing, I think it is better to do a complete restore (w/o backup) to get a fresh start -- I'm convinced that these crashes are due to corrupted data in the backup files, which is not necessarily a memory management issue by the OS.  But in the interim, sure shut down the apps that seem to be problematic, but that's just a band-aid.
