How to - Keep Filename During InDesign Script Export

[Kimberly Welton]

Hi - this script exports my InDesign files into PDFs with security settings. Unfortunately, it also renames the file during export. Is there a way to tweak this script to retain the original file name?

var currPrefs = app.pdfExportPreferences;
with (currPrefs) {
    useSecurity = true;
    changeSecurityPassword = "**********";
    acrobatCompatibility = AcrobatCompatibility.ACROBAT_5;
    viewPDF = true;
    pageRange = PageRange.ALL_PAGES;
    disallowPrinting = true;
    disallowCopying = false;
    disallowChanging = true;
}


var doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File("~/Desktop/name.pdf"), false);

currPrefs.useSecurity = false;

Edited the penultimate line of code to save as the current doc's name, replacing indd with pdf. This assumes that the document has been saved and has a name (ie., not Untitled). Will still save to your desktop.  

var currPrefs = app.pdfExportPreferences;
with (currPrefs) {
    useSecurity = true;
    changeSecurityPassword = "**********";
    acrobatCompatibility = AcrobatCompatibility.ACROBAT_5;
    viewPDF = true;
    pageRange = PageRange.ALL_PAGES;
    disallowPrinting = true;
    disallowCopying = false;
    disallowChanging = true;
}


var doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File("~/Desktop/" + doc.name.replace(/indd$/gi,"pdf")), false);

currPrefs.useSecurity = false;
