Is there a java script I could add to a button in a file that would allow the user to save the file as a jpg?

Thank you for your help.

Well it is a pet rescue with limited funds so now I will have to refund what they paid me and just lost 3 days of work. Thanks Adobe

Why is it Adobe's fault that you didn't do the proper research before taking this job? Also, if they can afford paying you then they can probably afford Acrobat. The Standard version is like $15 a month...

try67 They didn't pay me a lot I am mostly donating my time.

I did do research and cam across several mentions of using javascript to save as a jpg so I thought it was doable. I am just aggravated not your fault or Adobe's.

No my clients use PC as do I.

So what am I supposed to do. My client wants a file they can interactively update then save as a jpg so they can post it on social media. They don't have access or the knowledge of how to use our programs just Acrobat Reader.

Why want you use JavaScript for this?

I want the user to be able to save the file as a jpg from Acrobat reader and my understanding is that adding a java script to a form button in acrobat is the only way to accomplish this.

Acrobat Reader can't save as jpg.
