Hi all,

I want to the file to autoname itself based on a couple of filled fields as well as including a couple of standard texts so that it looks something like this:

Field1.Field2.Field3.StandardText.Field4

Is this possible? I also want it to include the periods between the field names.

You mean you want the file name to update in regards to the value of certain fields?

You sort of wish to code a SaveAs function ?

Yes, that is absolutely right. I don't need it to look for a certain folder or anything, just to update the name depending on values.

It's possible, but in order to do a Save As, you need to include the code that does the saving in a folder-level JavaScript and install it on each machine the form will be used on. An alternative is to add a certification signature and each user would have to trust the certificate so that high privileged JavaScript is allowed. The code needed to do a Save As in the way you want has been posted here many times and is also in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation, but if you get stuck, post again.
