AcroForm mySaveAs throwing an error : UnsupportedValueError: Value is unsupported

[smaz207]

I'm new to javascript. I've browsed the forum and tried every solution that I've come across here and yet still stuck with the mySaveAs function giving me the same error no matter what my button script is in my AcroForm.  I'm not able to figure out how to resolve this error. Appreciate all the help and assistance. Thanks in advance.

ERROR:

UnsupportedValueError: Value is unsupported. ===> Parameter cPath.
Doc.saveAs:7:Field Save:Mouse Up

Below are my Scripts.

Folder level script:

var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction(

function(doc,path) {

app.beginPriv();

doc.saveAs(path);

app.endPriv();

}
);

myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(

function(doc,path) {

app.beginPriv();

try {

mySaveAs(doc,path);

} catch (e) {

app.alert("Error During Save - " + e);

}

app.endPriv();

}
);

Mouse-up Button script:
//
// Before saving the data, make sure that all required
// fields are valid
//
function myDateSTring(){
return util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy h:MMtt", new Date());
}
if(FormValidFields())
{

var directory = "/C/Users/aUsers/Folder/Subfolder/";

var SignedOffBy = this.getField('SignedOffBy');
if (this.getField("SignedOffBy").value == "SignedOffBy.valueAsString"){
SignedOffBy = SignedOffBy.valueAsString;
}
var myFileName = SignedOffBy + " - " + myDateSTring() + ".pdf";
var mySaveAs = directory + myFileName;
if (typeof(mySaveAs) == "function") {
mySaveAs(this, directory, SignedOffBy +"-"+ myDateSTring()+".pdf");
app.alert("This Form " + SignedOffBy +"-"+ myDateSTring()+ " has saved successfully to the following location: /C/Users/aUsers/folder/subfolder/" , 3);
} else {
app.alert("Missing Save Function. Please contact forms administrator ");
}

}

Remove following line:

var mySaveAs = directory + myFileName;

This line makes no sense.

[try67]

A file name can't contain characters such as "/" or ":"...

[try67]

Also, this part of the code doesn't make much sense to me:

var SignedOffBy = this.getField('SignedOffBy');
if (this.getField("SignedOffBy").value == "SignedOffBy.valueAsString"){
SignedOffBy = SignedOffBy.valueAsString;
}

What are you trying to compare here, exactly? And you need to think about what would happen if the values you're comparing are not equal. You'll be using a Field object directly in the file-name you're trying to save under.

This is a good example of why it's not good to change the type of a variable in the middle of your code.
If you want to have one variable that points to a Field and one to the field's value, declare two different variables, don't "recycle" the first one.

Thank you so much Bernd Alheit & try67 for the input and pointing out the mistakes in my code.
As suggested, I removed the following lines from the Button script:
var mySaveAs = directory + myFileName;
&
var SignedOffBy = this.getField('SignedOffBy');
if (this.getField("SignedOffBy").value == "SignedOffBy.valueAsString"){
SignedOffBy = SignedOffBy.valueAsString;
}

That took care of the 'UnsupportedValueError'. But now I have a new issue with the code.
Though the code seems to be executing without any error and showing the correct file name in the '...saved successfully...' message, it's actually not saving the file. What else could I be doing wrong? Thanks again in advance.

More info about my form:

SignedOffBy - is a Dropdown field with a field script and a document level script as below:

Field script:
this.getField("SignedOffBy").valueAsString = SignedOffBy.valueAsString;
Document level script:
function SignedOffBy(){
getField("SignedOffBy").valueAsString = SignedOffBy.valueAsString;
}

mySaveAs - has a document level script as below:
function mySaveAs(){
// build new file name
var directory = "/C/Users/getdr/Dropbox/EDPChecklist/";
var SignedOffBy = this.getField('SignedOffBy').valueAsString;
var myNewFileName = SignedOffBy + " - " + myDateSTring() + ".pdf";
mySaveAs = "/C/Users/getdr/Dropbox/EDPChecklist/" + SignedOffBy + " - " + myDateSTring()+".pdf";
}

Mouse-up Button script:
//
// Before saving the data, make sure that all required
// fields are valid
//
function myDateSTring(){
return util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy h:MMtt", new Date());
}
if(FormValidFields()){
var directory = "/C/Users/aUsers/Folder/Subfolder/";
var SignedOffBy = this.getField('SignedOffBy').valueAsString;
var myFileName = SignedOffBy + " - " + myDateSTring() + ".pdf";

if (typeof(mySaveAs) == "function") {
mySaveAs(this, directory, SignedOffBy +"-"+ myDateSTring()+".pdf");
app.alert("This Form " + SignedOffBy +"-"+ myDateSTring()+ " has saved successfully to the following location: /C/Users/aUsers/folder/subfolder/" , 3);
} else {
app.alert("Missing Save Function. Please contact forms administrator ");
}
}

There are multiple issues here. First of all, the fact you added an alert after the mySaveAs command that says it was successful does not mean that's actually the case.

Also, you're passing multiple parameters to this function, but there are none defined in the function definition. You need to decide which way to go with and stick with it.

And also, you didn't change the myDateSTring function to not include the characters I said can't be included in a file-name, so it can't work, no matter what.

Your document level function mySaveAs doesn't save the document.
