Interactive "Save As" button

I need to create a fillable form where basic info is at the top f and a "PRINT" "EMAIL" and "SAVE" button are at the bottom. I'm good to go with everything but the "SAVE" button. I do not see a way to have an interactive "Save" command through the usual button and forms channel.

I understand that I can create a "Save" button in Acrobat, but I need to create 300+ PDF forms and I'm pretty unwilling to do this all manually. What am I missing in InDesign that I can't create and export this button action? If I absolutely must do it in Acrobat, I will but is there a way to automate this?

Unfortunately, there is no way to create a Save button using the Forms & Buttons panel in InDesign. Perhaps it could be applied with a script in Acrobat, but it may be faster just to make one in Acrobat and then copy and paste it (in Acrobat, from one PDF to another) over and over.
