Need help saving all open files to single folder in Adobe Acrobat DC

As stated in subject title, I am looking for a way to save all open files to one specific folder without needing to save and path each one manually. I've looked into this before posting, and found previously suggested solutions such as the one here (https://answers.acrobatusers.com/How-to-save-all-open-files-to-a-specific-folder-Adobe-Acrobate-XI-Pro-q299792.aspx)

 

I've attempted to run scripts such as the one in the link, and searching the error messages given by the console leads me to believe that those scripts no longer work with current versions. I have run out of suggestions from older posts and am unfortunately not very good at using javascript myself. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, I created it after the first time it failed. Same issue. I also tried replacing that name with other pre-existing folders, which still failed.


Do your file-names contain special characters, or a comma, by any chance?
