For example I need to save a PDF doc by Costumer Number (example; David Hass) and Request Number (example: 001-17) so when I click on JavaScript button Save by CN & RN, my PDF file should be saved on Desktop by name David Hass 001-17.

Thank you very much.

It's possible, but if you want this to happen silently then a script must be installed on the user's local machine.

Otherwise you can only suggest the file-name to the user, not enforce it.

Take a look at this tutorial, it explains the script that you need to install on every computer that needs to save a file:
