Dear Community,

I'm new with JS and Acrobat. I'm looking for a small Code for following Task:

I have an open pdf file and now I need a button to do the following:

Only save the open file in the same directory, but with filename = oldfilename_username.pdf  so I can

work with this new file. The old file should be closed. I think I  need identity.loginname  for username.

Is the best was use an Action with JavaScript Code?

 

Do you have some Code for me?

 

Best Regards

Josh

Run the script from trusted function.

identity.loginName = The login name as registered by the operating system.

identity.name = The user name that the user entered in the Identity preferences panel.

Hi Bernd, hi Nesa,

 

I put this new directories and put my function in MyDocSave.js

Is this and the function correct?

But now what's the next step to get running the code? How do I have to call MyDocSave.js from

pdf document?
