You can write files anywhere Acrobat can write them. You may need to use the system API to locate the temporary folder first.

Thank you for the help! This method works fine, but can I write  files not only with *.tmp extension with this method ? For example I want to write *.txt file in temp path ?

Use the system API to locate the temp folder. You can then use Acrobat APIs to write files there.

So, there is no option to do custom(*.txt, and so on ) temp files through Adobe acrobat api? Because ASFileSysGetTempPathName() autogenerates the temp file with *.tmp extension
