Possible to save files in My Documents using JavaScript?

I have a customer who wants his users (service technicians) to be prompted to save a PDF form they fill out, print, and sign for their customers. It's easy to set the File>Save As action for the form button, but my customer wants to know if it's possible to always have the form saved to My Documents.
I've searched the form and haven't been able to find any discussion on this. I can't imagine how to do it, since My Documents is inside the user profile... but was wondering what people who actually know what they're talking about (as opposed to me, that is) might have to say.
If it is possible to do what my customer wants, can you point me to any existing code or reference sources?
Cheers!

But I have two problems with this...
The first is that I ran several Google site-searches and Adobe searches, but did not find any document*** named Acrobat JavaScript API Reference, even though it is also directly referenced in the Acrobat 9 help (listed there as JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference, but I've searched using broader terms such as API reference and other combinations, and it simply did not come up).
I did find the companion "Developing Acrobat® Applications Using JavaScript". But it's overwhelming, and I don't know what chapter(s) contain the information I need to throw together a proper working script for what I need.
That's the other problem.
I do not know JavaScript. I know how to include it but not how to write it. Everywhere I look, the blanket response to newbie JavaScript questions is to dump the wad of documentation in the asker's lap, expecting them to sit down and read it "cover to cover." I now have a long-overdue project and I need help, fast. I don't have time to learn JavaScript from scratch! -- If I did, I wouldn't be asking these questions! I'd be figuring it out myself.
This is becoming very frustrating. Won't somebody please help me out, or tell me exactly what pieces of code I need to put in and where I need to put it? I can at least go look up the syntax, as long as I know what to look for.
EDIT: *** Now that I've written that, I ran the Adobe search tool again and found the PDF version, which is what I was looking for. The saveAs samples make no sense to me, and I keep trying to dig back through the documentation to figure out what the heck it's talking about. It's a quagmire. The documentation is barely understandable; it's very poorly worded, and every sentence is thick with unfamiliar concepts for a n00b -- and I'm a tech writer!

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

Save file in multiple directories using receiver file adapter?

Hi,
Is it posible to save file in multiple directories using receiver file adapter?
Regards,
Ashish

Well, there is a round about way to do that -
The idea is to use multi mapping. 1:n mapping
1) Map ur message to 2 different record set nodes. Since you want to use the same file both the mapping will look exactly the same. make sure that the filepath and filename are a part of the output payload message
2) In the file adapter config. make sure the the file name and file path are from these payload fields. You can use a context object to refer these fields. Voila...the files are created in the 2 direcoties you mentioned.
of course the simplest way is to route the same message to 2 business systems/services and write them out using 2 ccs.,

You're probably better off raising this in the SDK forum.

Is it possible to save file doc,avi,mpg on the Micro Z

Can I save file.doc, avi, mpg, iso and others on the Micro Zen? Is it possible? or i can only file.mp3?

Also, you should NEVER use an MP3 player as a single source for data files. Make sure you keep backups and I would only recommend using it for transferring where the original file is still somewhere safe.

Is it possible to save files that are not on my macbook

is it possible save files not on my macbook

Where are the files going to be that you want to save.
Time Machine, if that is what you are talking about, can only save files that are locally stored on disks that are HFS+ format. TM is specifically designed to use the Mac format.. it cannot work on network drives. It cannot work on other format drives.
If you are not specific to Time Machine.. your computer can save files on the TC.. that are stored anywhere just by copy and paste.. but the TC is not really a good storage . .It is unable to back up itself and TM as noted already cannot back it up.

Can't save files to Last Folder Used

I'm scanning items with a Kodak iQsmart3, running under Kodak's oXYgen 2.6.1 scan application. Late last week, the application suddenly stopped saving files to the last folder used. Now I have to re-select the destination folder for each scan.
I have rebooted the computer several times, and have also re-installed the scan application, but nothing helps the problem. It seems now that the problem may be with OS 10.4.11. I've searched and searched for a solution within the OS, but can't find anything that helps.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed? Is there a place where you can check to see if the saving options can be changed?

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I did as you advised and still cannot save files to the last folder used, as I used to be able to do.
This is the first time in the 2 1/2 years I've been using this system that I've had any trouble with it. When I opened Disk Utility, it showed me the size and type of three different drives, all identical in manufacture. The first holds the Operating system, and the other two are set up in a Raid Striped set. I selected Macintosh HD under the name of the first drive, since that's the name of the disk on my desktop, and ran the Repair Permissions function, moving the recentitems.plist file to the desktop and rebooting, as per your instructions. Was that the proper area to use or should I have selected the disk description above that?
(Below is the disk information from the Disk Utility application)
Disk Description : Hitachi HDS725050KLA360 Media Total Capacity : 465.8 GB (500,107,862,016 Bytes)

Insert image file to word document using active X

Hello,
I would like to insert an image into my word document (at the end). The image is saved as a bmp file and I'm using LV 8.2.1.
I would like to do this using Active X (without using report generation toolkit).
Any idea please ? Thanks in advance.
J.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi J.
The method to use is Inline shapes (Add pictures). I have linked an example. You will have to configure it in order for it to be at the end of your document but that shouldn't be a problem for you.

On file open: "This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists."

I had an existing, functional datepicker in a web page.
Recently I downloaded the UI Datepicker in the Widget Browser and installed it in DW CS5. Now every time I load the file that calls the datepicker that I added myself, a warning opens with the following text:
This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists. If you don't remove the code, the browser might display JavaScript errors when loading the page. Would you like Dreamweaver to find all instances of this code for you?
Widget: $("#reservDateBegin").datepicker();
Widget: $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker();
Clicking "Yes" opens the file and shows the search box at the bottom of the window with [current document] in File and $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker(); in Matched Text. Clicking "No" just opens the file.
The error is wrong, since installing the widget is what caused the error in the first place!
How can I get DW to stop showing this message?
Thanks for any help.

I do understand you're trying to be helpful. I was just hoping providing the relevant code snippets would be sufficient so I didn't have to take the time to provide a "cleaned" version of the files and upload those to a public-safe location.
Zabeth69 wrote: If you don't understand what 'code at the bottom of the page' means, you have not used one of those systems. I don't know what causes the error code to come up (besides removing a Spry widget, I mean). So if it doesn't apply to you, ignore it.
This is exactly my point: I haven't used any of the DW "systems". I've always manually coded in DW, so I can't have removed a Spry widget in the first place. It wasn't until I installed the Widget using the Widget Browser that I started getting the error (I don't mean adding the datepicker widget to the code using the DW Insert menu - I mean installing the Widget into DW itself). Ignoring such an erroneous/incorrect error seems kind of silly, since every time I open the file I get the error message.
Anyway, as requested, the following are links to the contactUsCleaned.php page, and the php included headerCleaned.php file. Since these use php includes to complete the rendered HTML, they won't look right in the browser, but as you know viewing the source will show the relevant html, javascript, and jquery code. I didn't see any way to upload the files in this forum, which, due to the php code, would be preferable to see exactly what my code looks like...
http://www.eventidewebdesign.com/public/contactUsCleaned.php
http://www.eventidewebdesign.com/public/headerCleaned.php
The footer.php file the contactUs page includes is simply a set of HTML links to the pages on the site, copyright info, and the Google Analytics script. There is no other code in the footer.php file.

Unable to update rating (rating column) on host document using JavaScript Object Model API inside sharepoint hosted apps

Hi Everyone,
We are developing SharePoint hosted apps for Office 365, for that we are going
to implement document rating functionality inside Sharepoint app. The host web contain document library (“Documents”) and from apps we need to rate each document. The rating functionality working fine with CQWP in team site using
JavaScript Object Model API.
But the same code is not working inside apps and giving error:-
If we are using app context than error will be:-
"List does not exist.
The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."
And for Host context than error will be:-
"Unexpected response data from server."
Please help on this
Please see below code..

Thank you in advance! :-)


Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update list column in SharePoint hosted apps using JavaScript Client Object Model.
Based on the error message, it seems not retrieve the list object in context. I suggest you debug the code step by step using Internet Explorer Developer Tools to
find the problem.
Here are some demos about using JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint hosted app:

Convert PS to PDF file in Adobe Distiller using javascript

Hi scripters,
I have created some PS files from Indesign using javascript. Files are d:\test\1.ps,2.ps
Now I want to convert this ps files into pdf files uisng javascript?(I am not comfort to use export as PDF option for this job)
how I can do this?
Thanks in advance
regards
a r u l

Hi arul
Firstable, you may not need to create PS files as Indesign is able to produce PDF files natively. I was told that it was more reliable to do so using a certification profile such as PDFX.
You will find a lot of PDF export script everywhere.
However, if you want to go that way (PS to PDF). I did that once.
First you determine into distiller a hotfolder where you ps files wille be generated. Then in the hotfolder options, you precise the profile you want to use. Otherwise, distiller may be using low quality PDF as default and your PDF may not be as good as you want.
var distiller = File("c:/xxx/yyy/zzz/distiller.exe"); //the path to your distiller app.
distiller.execute();
Here you are !
