Goodmorning,
I have created a button with a script that saves the last page and send it as an attachment

var d = this.extractPages(this.pageNum);
d.mailDoc({cTo: "test@gmail.nl", cSubject: "Information" + (this.pageNum+1) + " from " + this.documentFileName, bUI: false});
d.closeDoc(true);

The only thing i can't figure out is how to save the attachment in a specific name.

Does anybody has an idea how i can add this ?

And is it possible to add textfields from within the pdf file to the file name ?

For example mut-Text15

Thank you very much for youre help !

To be able to do it you would need to install a script file on the local computer of each user. Can you do that?

PS. I hope you know this is not going to work in Reader, only in Acrobat...

Hi Marten,

When a file attachment is imported using the importDataObject method, the value of its Data.name property is assigned by that method’s cName parameter. However, when a file is attached using the UI, its name is automatically assigned. The attachments are assigned the sequential names “Untitled Object”, “Untitled Object 2”, “Untitled Object 3”, and so on.

This is how you can assign name to attachment:
this.exportDataObject({ cName: "MyPDF.pdf", nLaunch: 2 });

Let us know if it helps or not.

Thanks

Sanchi
