Save a copy programmatically

Hi Rick,

if this copy is in the same folder, I would just make a simple copy.

var goDoc = app.ActiveDoc;
var sFile = goDoc.Name.split("\\").pop()
var sPath = goDoc.Name.split("\\");
sPath.pop();
var sNewFile = sPath.join("\\") + "\\" +"~~" + sFile;   // or just a different appendix
var oFile = new File(goDoc.Name);
oFile.copy(sNewFile);

If it should be stored in a different folder, then open this new file with FrameMaker, save it in a different folder and delete the "~~"-file.

Hi Rick,

Is this possible in the UI? I don't think it is, and therefore suspect that the API has no direct route. But I could be wrong. Have you considered creating a new doc from the original doc, using it as a template? I think you can do it with this parameter and the Open() method:

Constants.FS_NewDoc

Then you could save it and you would have a copy. But maybe this won't work if the template doc is already open.

Also, I'm not clear why a Save As and then reopen the original doc is not an option.

Hope this helps.
