We want the user to save the PDF files to specific folders by selecting the Folders in the custom form. The Custom form will display the Folder>SubFolder>SubFolder (combobox selection). Open Dialog.

Can we intercept the Save OR Save As to display the custom form OR add a new menu through which can save the PDF (Save/Save As can be disabled).

Any other suggestion to meet the requirement.

Please help.

Acrobat is heavily sandboxed for security. So, any scripting features that touch the user's file system have retrictions. So obviosly Save operations are tricky to script.

All is explained in this article:

No, you can't do that. However, you can silently save the file to a specific folder, but it requires installing a script on the local machine of each user.
