Need to specify default filename for SaveAs

Question

I am using the command app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); in the click event of a button. Is there anyway that I can specify a default filename for the user? I do want the user to get the Save As window and the ability to change the name if possible.
The form is generated by the RenderForm Java script, and the name being generated as a default for the SaveAs window is RenderForm.pdf
Thanks,
Velvet

Chris, I think you missed this one.
I think you want to change the name when calling app.SaveAs via javascript from the client not on the server. Since app.executeMenuItem("saveAs") will not take any parameters to suggest a file name. I think you will have to use doc.saveAs which will allow the name to be specified. This would require a trustedFunction which may or will not work unless you have known users. You will also need to prompt for the file name before making the call.
Here is some untested code to get you started...
You will need to create a trustedFunction (see AcroJS.pdf for details) ..
saveFunc = app.trustedFunction(function (filename) {
app.beginPriv();
try {
event.target.saveAs({cPath: filename});
} catch (err) {
app.alert("Error: " + err);
app.endPriv();
Code for your event...
var suggestedName = "MyPDFName.pdf";
// Note This will only work if you know where they will be saving it
var cPathToSaveTo = "/c/temp/";
var cResponse = app.response({
cQuestion: "What name would you like to use for this PDF?",
cTitle: "File Name",
cDefault: suggestedName,
cLabel: "File Name:" })
if(cResponse != null)
saveFunc(cPathToSaveTo + cResponse );
Hope this helps.
