Hi. I have a PDF with a script that opens another file, changes that file's serial number and prints the file. How do I save the file so the new serial number is saved? Thanks very much

Take a look at this tutorial, it explains how to save PDF files using JavaScript: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

You will have to install a folder level script.

Use the method saveAs.

Thanks. I'll try that. I assume you mean that I just save it using the same name and that there's a way of doing it without a dialog box confirming you want to overwrite the pre-existing file
