How do you Save a pdf form automatically to a designated folder using designated fields in the form?

Hello,
I am in the process of creating a “service excellence feedback” form.  The idea of this form is to have a blank form living in our company’s intranet page to be used by multiple departments that receive feedback and then have a chain of updated investigations and follow up to be documented within the same file.              
The top portion is to be filled out by the department receiving the feedback. It collects all the pertinent data needed including the person giving the feedback’s First and Last name. Once the top portion of the form is filled out I want to have a “submit” button that will do; 
1. Save the pdf automatically to a designated folder AND automatically save it under the last and first name that is entered in the form. So the form will be saved in the designated folder under “Smith, John.pdf”.  I have already figured out how to format the button to “save as” however I would like to eliminate the person filling the form out to have ANY responsibility to naming and saving the file to the correct folder. 
2. After it is saved I want it emailed to a specific email address (which I have figured out.)              
Once the steps above are completed and it is emailed an investigation will be performed by me and I will document my findings and then send it by another “submit” button which will save the document (writing over the previously saved version with this new version) and then emailed on to the next person to provide the next step of follow up. When the next person in line finishes they will hit another “submit” button that will again save the new version and send it back to me.  We continue this back and forth with a few more follow-ups performing the same save and send options.                  
I need help in how to write a script/java to perform this task of saving. I have already figured out how to program the button to email the form.  Help please!!!  I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html

  • How do you save a PDF fillable form with a Samsung Tablet and still continue to have access to the original document?

    We are using the Samsung Note and have uploaded a PDF form for fieldwork crews to enter vegetation data. When we have filled in the form there is no option to save the form under a different name but rather the form simply saves itself with the most recent information placed in it. We understand that you can send it through Acrobat.com to your account but the tablet will not access this site while in the PDF app. Does anyone know of an app or a way that we can create individually saved files and still have access to the original on the tablet?

  • How do I save as pdf in Mozilla version 28 on Mac using Mavericks OS.

    When I select File, Print, I usually have the option of "printing to a pdf" or "saving as a pdf". I'm using the Mavericks OS on a mac. Previously this option was available in the print screen before reinstalling Firefox. I have looked in the printer pull down menu as well as expanded the details tab. I can't figure out how to save a page as a pdf using the print menu. If I try another method to save a web page from the File, Save Page As, there is no option for a pdf file extension. Any help?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what happened but you can use the following add-on to save any webpage as a PDF with just one click! All you have to do is press the button on your toolbar and there! It saves the web page as a PDF.

  • How do you save or export an edited clip or sequence to use in another project without losing qualit

    Does anyone else like to edit each scene seperately.  Render and save, then compile a completed movie of the scenes?  What format in elements?

    You can edit one scene at a time within a single project - setting the WorkAreaBar to cover an individual scene will limit preview rendering to that scene. Once satisfied with a particular scene you can Share it to a separate file if you want to reuse them in other projects - use the WorkAreaBar to cover the range you wish to export. Use the DV-AVI format to maintain quality. Or if you don't mind adding additional codecs add the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec. Bill Hunt has written a Tips & Tricks article on using this.

  • How can I split a pdf and append a unique id- from a document field - to the file name?

    I receive a 250 page pdf each month which needs to be split into separate docs and named with the account number found on each page.  How can I do this?

    This can be (potentially) done with a script, but a lot depends on how the file is set up. Without seeing the file itself it is almost impossible to say if it can be done or not.

  • How can you set up a "ring around" that us old timers used to do in the dark room for printing?

    I have a calibrated monitor. I have set up the proper profile for my epson 1400 printer using only epson ink. I am using PSE 5.0 and am perfectly happy with it.Working on Win Vista Business. I tried "soft proofing" in Quimage and was not happy with its result, so I want to go back to my tried and true technique I once used in my color darkroom, by using a window cut in a large piece of black board, and moving it from R to L changing the color balance and or the exposure to make a good print.
    Help anyone?

    Thanks for the reply. Let me try to clarify what I am trying to do:Rather than waste many sheets of 13X19 sheets of paper "tweaking" the picture, i would like to set up 5 or more tweaks on one sheet of paper, so that I will only waste one sheet, rather than 5 sheets.

    How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

    You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

  • How do i save a PDF document sent to me via email to Pages on my IPad

    Hey All,  I have a document that i want on my IPad.  How do i save a PDF document sent to me via email to Pages on my IPad?

    You can't. You can export Pages files as PDF documents but you cannot save a PDF into Pages. It does not support that feature.
    There are tons of PDF apps in the App Store aside from iBooks. Adobe Reader makes a pretty decent PDF app that will store, annotate, rename, highlight, use form fields, sign pdf's, and organize in folders. It is free as well. There are other apps, you just have to Serach for them.
