Example:

I have opend document in illustrator namely  "Untitled_1.ai". I want to save this file as "Untitled_1.eps" and "Untitled_1_FORPRINT.pdf". 

 

I am facing the issue with the below script, "_FORPRINT" was not coming along with the filename while it is saved as PDF.

 

var saveOpts = new EPSSaveOptions();
var saveName = new File("~/Documents/Project/Output Files/" + "/" + app.activeDocument.name);
document.saveAs(saveName, saveOpts);

var saveName = new File("~/Documents/Project/Output Files/" + "/" + app.activeDocument.name + "_FORPRINT");
var saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
saveOpts.preserveEditability = true;
PDFSaveOptions.viewAfterSaving = false;
document.saveAs(saveName, saveOpts);
document.saveAs(saveName, saveOpts);

It may be because, pdf is created from the eps document(this is active now) and eps document name is Untitled-11.eps and app.actievDocument.name return name with extension. So extract name first as

 

var _name = app.activeDocument.name.replace('.ai');

 

and use _name where you have used app.activeDocument.name while saving in eps or pdf format.

Change it to something like this when doing the files.

Change:
new File("~/Documents/Project/Output Files/" + "/" + app.activeDocument.name + "_FORPRINT");

 

To:
new File("~/Documents/Project/Output Files/" + app.activeDocument.name + "_FORPRINT.pdf");

Thank you so much for your response, but i am getting the extra word like ".eps" in saved file name. Refer the below screenshot.
