Create PDF of activeDocument

[AG_Ps_100]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to save PDF of activeDocument using a script for convenience, any ideas?

#target photoshop;
var saveFile = File(Folder.desktop + "/test.pdf");
SavePDF(saveFile);
function SavePDF(saveFile){ 
pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions(); 
activeDocument.saveAs(File(saveFile), pdfSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE); 
};

Thank you!

I've added try and catch to the code and also take active document's name:

#target photoshop;
try
{
    var savePath = activeDocument.path;
    var saveFile = File(savePath + "/" + app.activeDocument.name + ".pdf"); 
    SavePDF(saveFile);         
} 
catch(e)
{ 
    savePath = Folder.selectDialog("select folder");
    var saveFile = File(savePath + "/" + app.activeDocument.name + ".pdf"); 
    SavePDF(saveFile);         
}
function SavePDF(saveFile){ 
pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions(); 
activeDocument.saveAs(File(saveFile), pdfSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE); 
};

by the way, I haven't tried try and catch too many times, I wanted to know if there's a better way to do it where I only need to write once these two lines:

var saveFile = File(savePath + "/" + app.activeDocument.name + ".pdf"); 
SavePDF(saveFile);

#target photoshop;
try {  
    savePath = activeDocument.path;  
}catch(e){   
    savePath = Folder.selectDialog("select folder");  
}
var Name = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var saveFile = File(savePath + "/" + Name + ".pdf");   
SavePDF(saveFile);           
function SavePDF(saveFile){   
pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();   
activeDocument.saveAs(File(saveFile), pdfSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);   
};
