Saving a review PDF

Question

Hi all,
I'm just getting into Extendscript for FM 12 so bear with me.
I have found the FM_Outputs_CondText file which does everything I need it to do except for I want the file to be saved as a review PDF. I've found the FCodes.KBD_SAVEASPDFREVIEW command and can get it to open the saveas dialog. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to interact with this. Any thoughts on how I can achieve the following process:
1: Apply conditional text show/hide (included in FM_Outputs_CondText)
2: Change output file name (depends on how I achieve step 3)
3: Save as review pdf
4: Move to next conditional text show/hide (included in FM_Outputs_CondText)
Any suggestions of what to do or where to look would be amazing.
(any FM scripter/user groups in Portland, OR?)

Hi Corey,
I don't have time to give you a detailed explanation, but here is some code to get you going on saving a review PDF.
#target framemaker
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
savePdf (doc);
function savePdf (doc) {
    var saveParams, retParams, i = 0, pdfName;
     // Get a property list to return any error messages.
    retProps = new PropVals();
    saveProps = GetSaveDefaultParams();
    i = GetPropIndex (saveProps, Constants.FS_FileType);
    saveProps[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtPdf;
    doc.PDFJobOption = "Standard";
    doc.PDFGenerateForReview = 1;
    // Get the save name for the PDF and save it.
    pdfName = doc.Name.replace (/\.fm/i, ".pdf");
    doc.Save (pdfName, saveProps, retProps);
