Hi all!

I'm wondering if it is possible in Adobe DC pro, to save by cell. What I mean is I'm doing a form up for work that is multi-form (used a lot with names and such changing almost daily) of sorts.

Basically when my co-worker enters in a name (first and last name), Program, and date they would like the file name automaticity saved as First name and last name, program and date. So It would be like this

Robertson, Steven Desktop support Oct 13/16 as the file name.

So like what Word and Excel does.

Do happen to have the script? I don't think it's a ton of users.

Ah okay so long story short, if I go that route it will only work on my computer not on the users computer?

Not unless you install that script on their computers as well...

It's possible, but it requires installing a script on the local machine in a specific folder, as well as embedding one in the file itself.

And the generated file-name can't contain forward-slashes or commas.
