Specify location of FDF save

Hi - I have hundreds of AcroForms that collect commonly used information (names, addresses, tel, etc) as part of the forms.  These forms are stand-alone, and are downloaded by users to their local systems as empty/blank forms, and given the problems with data protection, we will not entertain the idea of maintaining a server that collects this information. My users find the autocomplete function unsatisfactory, and they would like the common fields to automatically be filled in when they open the forms.
As a solution, I designed a single form (PersonalVariables) that has all the common fields, with a button to save the FDF locally. All other forms are configured with the same fields and are configured to import the FDF on Page Open, but of course I have to specify where and what FDF is going to be imported.
What I have currently is:
n=app.alert("This will save your personal information for use throughout the Forms range' ",3,0);
this.exportAsFDF("http://localhost/PersonalVariables_data.fdf");
But this ignores the location and defaults to the last used location with the PDF filename. So, the question is: how do I force the FDF to be save in a specified location?
Any help much appreciated.

Thanks George - as you can tell, I'm a bit of a newbie at this, so bear with me. Thanks for the link - I had not seen reference to this before in all my searches. So now the export looks like this:
this.exportAsFDF(true, true, null, false, "C:\PersonalVariables.fdf");
This does not appear to do anything - what have I got wrong??

  • Help!! - "The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."

    New OJ6830, latest HP software installed on Win7 64 bit.
    HP Scan scans and displays the scanned pages.  But, when I try to save the file as a pdf or tiff, I get the following error message:
    "The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."
    BTW, I have tried running the app as Administrator and have disabled my antivirus software.
    Why won't the HP scan app save the file?  Has anyone else seen this error message?
    Is there anything else I can do, or this this just a major bug in HP scan software?

    Mike,
    One Idea:
    Make sure you have "San Preview" checked else the software will not accept "specified location".

  • "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location. "

    I can copy and print from my computer but when I try to save the scan I get an error message saying the HP app was unable to save the file to the specified location. I reloaded the cd and that did not help.

    Hello jerlip,  Welcome to the HP Forums.  I see that you are having an issue when attempting to save a scan. I suggest that we try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If you see any error codes or messages, please let me know what they are. Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to research other options if needed.  Cheers,  

  • Itunes Library is not at specified location--Can't find

    Greetings All,
    First of all I would like to say that I am an advanced user but my current issue has me absolutely stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    I recently changed computers and I won't bore you with the details, I run Itunes from an Ex. HD as the library is quite large. Now, Itunes says that the Itunes Media folder is located at E:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, which would be the folder on the EHDD. However, that folder is just an empty shell with no files. Also, when I go to File>Library>Organize Library, it says "Your media is already organized as an Itunes Media folder" even though the location at E: is not organized as such.
    So Itunes plays, I just can't find the folder that it is playing from. It appears that Itunes is lying to me about the location of my folder. I have searched my entire computer (including hidden files) for .m4p files and nothing comes up. *Yet Itunes plays.* At this point I would like to just start all over with Itunes but I can't find my library....
    any suggestions??

    Here is an update. The folder is at the specified location however it can be viewed. The only way that I found the folder is by typing the location into the RUN command on the start menu.
    How do I unhide this folder? I went into folder options and display hidden folders is checked?

  • Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

    I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
    By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Download Multiple Files in one specified location

    Hi All,
    Suppose there are many documents which user wants to download in one specified location in local system.
    So is it possible in Web Dynpro Java?
    I have read documents on FileDownload UI Element and experimented on it. But I was not able to achieve the requirement.
    I was able to download single file at a time. So that means if there are 3 file to be downloaded, user will have to click on 3 different
    FileDownload UI Element, specify the path and download it.
    Can't we make it simple for user where he/she click FileDownload once and then all files get downloaded in that path.
    Best Regards,
    Gopal

    Hi Gopal,
    Using Filedownload UI Element, you can only able to download one file.
    But if you want to download group of files once. simply use java ZIP API(java.util.zip.*) to compress all the files into .zip format and download using the filedownload UI element.

  • Soa Suite: How to limit Outbound File Adapter retry to write to specified location.

    Hi all,
    I have created a file adapter that tries to write files to the specified location.
    If location is wrong, I was expecting to get an error.
    But none is generated.
    It seems that the service keeps on trying to write to the specified location until it finds it (which is never to happen).
    Please tell if I am wrong at this.
    I want my service to stop retrying after a period of time or after a number of retries or whatever is happening.
    I want to get error if location is wrongly specified.
    Regards and thanks in advanced,

    Hi,
    Place the receive (or invoke) in a Scope and place a OnAlarm on the scope.
    Set the OnAlarm to a max timeout. When the OnAlarm is reached the sequence of that OnAlarm will catch the transaction and you can throw an Error.
    You can then catch or retrow the error.
    Below some images that show the concept on a receive (download to view).

    Please do not jump to conclusions and make assumptions here like 'when will people finally get it??'.  I never said it was a benchmark.  I have also seen many examples of where it's results do not go with conventional performance.  I have a Radeon 9000 that goes faster on glxgears than a Geforce FX 5600 running Nouveau.  Which is the faster card?  The FX by miles.  It is not a benchmark as it can not be compared between configurations.  What I know is that on this individual system, from prior experience over many years when 3D acceleration is working glxgears gets between 300 and 400 fps.  When it is not working it gets less than 10.  That is a fact but does not mean it is benchmarkable.  Yes, a Quake 3 timedemo (I have these numbers too and they very much correlate to glxgears performance for this system given just how slow it is) would be a benchmark but when it runs less than 0.1fps and even the 2D rendering means that navigating the menu is impossible, there just isn't the time to find out.  Hence if playing around with drivers on this system I would use glxgears to check that 3D acceleration is working but not to benchmark.  Glxinfo does not give you all this evidence.
    But to clarify, I wouldn't use glxgears as a benchmark, benchmarking is different and I do a lot of that too.
