Saving two versions of pdf in a new folder script

Question

Hey all,

I've searched around and found a few things but nothing that caters completely, apologies if I missed it though. Not familiar with writing scripts at all so would be very grateful for help with this.

I'm looking to save a pdf with two versions, one as a standard pdf and the second with 'preserve illustrator capabilities turned off'. I found - pDFSaveOptions.preserveEditability false whilst looking through for solutions.

The files would need to be saved in a new folder 'project title - client name' created within a specific folder and the files named 'project title_mockup.pdf' and 'project title_send_mockup.pdf'

Is there a way to achieve this with prompts to input the file/folder name? or would this be difficult due to only needing the first part 'project title' of the folder name in the file name?

Many thanks,

var projectTitle = prompt("Please enter the 'project title - client name':","default text") ; //no extension

var pdfSaveSettingsA = newPDFSaveOptions();

//input your settings here

var pdfSaveSettingsB = newPDFSaveOptions();

//input your secondary pdf save settings here

var outputFilePath = "/Path/To/Folder/"

var pdfAFileName = projectTitle + "_mockup.pdf";

var pdfBFileName = projectTitle + "_send_mockup.pdf";

//output pdf A

app.activeDocument.saveAs(File(outputFilePath + pdfAFileName),pdfSaveSettingsA);

//output pdf B

app.activeDocument.saveAs(File(outputFilePath + pdfBFileName),pdfSaveSettingsB);
