I may be wrong but I think SaveFileDialog is a managed method from .NET. It is best to forget everything you know about .NET methods because there is a world of pain waiting for you if you try to squeeze them into the unmanaged (C++) world of Acrobat.

Instead you need to find and use the C++ methods of the unmanaged Windows API. There are many similarities, but not always exact equivalents. Unfortunately it is an enormous API which has evolved over many years and there is a lot to learn.

Microsoft want non-managed code to use the "Common Item Dialog". I don't like this and use the old methods such as GetSaveFileName.
