    Thank you!

    I've added try and catch to the code and also take active document's name:

    #target photoshop;
       
    try
    {
        var savePath = activeDocument.path;
        var saveFile = File(savePath + "/" + app.activeDocument.name + ".pdf"); 
        SavePDF(saveFile);         
    } 
    catch(e)
    { 
        savePath = Folder.selectDialog("select folder");
        var saveFile = File(savePath + "/" + app.activeDocument.name + ".pdf"); 
        SavePDF(saveFile);         
    }
               
    function SavePDF(saveFile){ 
    pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions(); 
    activeDocument.saveAs(File(saveFile), pdfSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE); 
    };

    by the way, I haven't tried try and catch too many times, I wanted to know if there's a better way to do it where I only need to write once these two lines:

    var saveFile = File(savePath + "/" + app.activeDocument.name + ".pdf"); 
    SavePDF(saveFile);
