Savin a Form on click of a button.

Question

Hi All,
I have created an Adobe Form using Adobe Designer 7.0. I want to save the filled up form using a button on the Form itself, instead of going via the File->Save As option.
Is there a way of eleminating the File->Save As method, and instead have a button on the form(maybe using the JavaScript Editor) or any other way by which this can be done.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer.

I did a quick test. You don't need a certified PDF, but as Aandi suggested you do need a trusted function to do this. What you need to do is place the trusted function to save the document in a .js file and then place that .js in the \Acrobat\javascript folder on the client machines that you want to be using this form. Once that's done your form can call the trusted function and save the PDF to your specified location without prompting the user.
See the Acrobat Javascript reference for more information on trustedFunction, but here's the script I used to test this:
saveFunc = app.trustedFunction(function () {
app.beginPriv();
try {
event.target.saveAs("/c/test/testSaveAs.pdf");
} catch (err) {
app.alert("Error: " + err);
app.endPriv();
I then called saveFunc() from the click event of my button.
