There's no simple way of doing that. You can create an attachment and then export it, but the user will have to select where it is saved.

Thank you for your quick reply, How do I create a custom attachment with specific data (Like I just want the text How are you in that attachment). and I'm using Adobe Acrobat DC
Is this something you are saying...

var testData = "Testing";
this.createDataObject({cName: "test.txt", cValue:testData });
this.exportDataObject({cName: "test.txt", nLaunch:0});

If yes, It's working for me on my local machine, but not working on a server.

You're not allowed to use Acrobat on a server anyway...
