Save File with Field data plus append more information

Question

I am looking to create a button that will save a button and append the data from a field to it when I save it.  So it would be a click event in javascript and inside the "saveFile" information would append TextField1 and "some text I make up" which would create the saved file name.

Hi There
Not sure if you have sorted this.
But I would achieve this using the trusted function
create your form as usual
then create an extra subform and make it in to a save as box (just add a textfield and some text and a button)
have the save button on the form simply call the saveas subform
saveas.presence = "visible";
then the button on the saveas subform have the following code (under click event in javascript) 
saveas.presence = "hidden";
event.target.saveasFunc();
to get this function to work you need to create a .js file using notepad with the following code
saveasFunc = app.trustedFunction(function () {
app.beginPriv();
var text1 = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1[0].saveform[0].TextField1[0]").rawValue;
var text2 = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1[0].saveform[0].saveas[0].TextField2[0]").rawValue;
try {
event.target.saveAs("/c/forms/" + text1 + " " + text2 + ".pdf");
} catch (err) {
app.alert("Error: " + err);
app.endPriv();
Obvisously setting the targets correctly and the save directory
then save this file as any name you like .js e.g. (saveas.js) then place this file in the c:\program files\adobe\acrobat\javascripts, or similar but with reader if using adobe reader.
If you intend to use this file in reader then you will need to enable extended features in reader on the file using Adobe Acrobat.
OK the above is only availble where you have the ability to load the .js file in to the correct directory.
I used it by creating a simple installation file which placed the .js file in teh correct directory and the form ont eh end users computer.
It may or may not work for you.
If I can be of any further help let me know.
