Get Current File Location in ADOBE form

Question

Hi All
I need to get the location and file name of current file upon http submit in the form.
How can we get current file location in abobe form.
I am trying to use JavaScript var path = window.location.pathname;
Also tried app.activeDocument.path property. But this does not work either.
Any inputs will be really helpful
Thanks

Hi Suhail,
You can query the runtime on this, and these are some examples on how to get this:
You will need to find the correct location:
select location_name
from all_rt_locations
where location_type = 'File System'
You will also need the path:
select PARAMETER_VALUE from ALL_RT_LOCATION_PARAMETERS
where location_name = 'SRC_FILES_LOC'
and PARAMETER_NAME = 'RootPath'
Do NOTE that the location type and RootPath things are case sensitive.
For the file name..., I think you will have to dig around in the mapping. I don't have an exact example but this is in the direction you will need to be looking if you want to select this from the repository:
-- This script selects all mappings, its operators and the binding to the repository objects
-- You can use this to assess the impact of a change to a repository object to your mappings
-- The script will ask for a parameter specifying the project name. Note that this is case sensitive

where mod.information_system_id = map.information_system_id
and map.map_id = cmp.map_id
and mod.project_name = '&Project'

Hope that this is something that you can take and solve your problem with...
