Saving a pdf file using the value of a module field

[paolog19229941]

Hi all,

instead of the generic "Saves as" command available in the toolbar, can I add a customization or a command (I don't know, maybe a button) to a pdf module in order to save the pdf file using the value entered in a field? For instance: I have the text field "CODE" and I enter the value "1234", I would like that the save as command suggests me the file name "1234.pdf" as a default, the user can change the suggested file name if he wants.

Is it possible?

Thank you very much.

No. You can either save the file automatically using that name (if a script is installed on the local computer), or you can suggest the desired file-name in a dialog that appears before the Save As dialog, but not within it.

What do you mean with "automatically"? Is it possible to get the name of the file from a field (or maybe more fields) of the module? Can you provide a sample script?

Thanks

Automatically: Without user interaction beyond clicking the button. And yes, it can use the value of a field as the new file-name.
