Applying "Execute Menu Item" to multiple buttons at once

Hi all

I have a multi-page (22pages) form with a "Save Form" button on each page.

When I export the file from InDesign into Acrobat I'm currently using "Prepare Form", then selecting multiple instances of the button on each page, then applying the "Execute Menu Item" across all buttons.

However, is there a way to do this using a script?

Just trying to speed up my workflow.

Thanks

A script can only apply a script as an action. If that's OK with you then yes, you can do it.

So you basically want all these buttons to cause the Save As dialog to open when clicked? What are their names?

Yes, I think we're both on the same page. The button names are: Button 1.Page 1, Button 10.Page 2, Button 10.Page 3, Button 10.Page4, etc...etc...

Thanks

Appreciate it would probably be a good idea to tidy up the names via InDesign master pages.

Is the first one "Button 1.Page 1" or "Button 10.Page 1"? Are these the only buttons in the file?
