SaveAs is not a function

[heasde25642347]

Hello everybody,

i tried to a button in an Adobe Acrobat pdf form with javascript to automate the saveas function with the file name from a textfield.

I did a lot of research in the internet and found many examples and help postings so I know that I need folder level scripting because of security functions from adobe with the actual version of the reader.

folder level script:

myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction(function(vDoc,path)

{

app.beginPriv();

var myPath = "/C/Users/***username***/Downloads/test/" + "text1Value.pdf";

vDoc.saveAs({cPath: myPath, bCopy: true, bPromptToOverwrite: false});

app.endPriv();

});

button script:

var text1Value = this.getField("Objekt").value;

event.target.myTrustedSaveAs(event.target);

When I trie this scripts with the adobe reader it allways say "TypeError: event.target.myTrustedSaveAs is not a function" and I can't get that running.

Maybe someone can help me get this running

thank you for every help!

You should call it like this instead:

myTrustedSaveAs(this, textValue);

and you have to change the function to use textValue when setting the path of the file to save.

I tried to change it like you said but I get again the error: "TypeError: event.target.myTrustedSaveAs is not a function"

That's not the code posted above.

I don't know what you mean...maybe you can explain it

thanks

Whenever you make a change to a folder-level JavaScript file, you need to restart Acrobat for it to take effect.

ok I did this between every test.

my scripts are now like this:

folder level:

myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction(function(vDoc)

{

app.beginPriv();

var myPath = "/C/Users/***USER***/Downloads/test/" + "text1Value.pdf";

vDoc.saveAs({cPath: myPath, bCopy: true, bPromptToOverwrite: false});

app.endPriv();

});

button click event:

var text1Value = this.getField("Objekt").value;

event.target.myTrustedSaveAs(this, text1Value);

and again I got the error: "TypeError: event.target.myTrustedSaveAs is not a function"

I don't know why it allways says not a function because I defined it in the folder level script

also I tried several times to log out and in from the windows profil and restart the complete pc...

Hello,

Is it possible that you give the whole .js scripts and what you filled in the .pdf stamp ?

I created a dynamic stamp and want to save the document in a specific dir. with specific filename.

Thanks.

Also please randomize your function name - you have created a massive security hole in your system.

thank you for the hint

There's no need for the second parameter if you're specifying the path of the file in the trusted function.
