JavaScript to export pdf to MicroSoft Word

[BrianG934]

I'm using Acrobat DC.  Looking for javascript code that I can use in a button to export a pdf doc to Microsoft Word format.  I could use the Tools > Export PDF method, but am looking to automate the process with a button.  Thanks.

The basic code to do it is this:

this.saveAs({cPath: this.path.replace(".pdf", ".docx"), cConvID: "com.adobe.acrobat.docx"});

However, this code needs to run from a privileged context, which usually means from the Console, an Action or a folder-level trusted function. You can't just add it to a button and have it work when the button is clicked.

Thank you.  I decided to just use the Tools > Export PDF method as I wasn't sure how to run from privileged context.

Hey, thanks for the help, I am trying to run this code via the Javascript Debugger, but when I do I get the error message:
"The specified file could not be written to. It may be in use." however the only application accessing the pdf is Acrobat. Any suggestions?
