A period does have specific meaning. Look at the script we have written so far... lots of them So my suggestion would be to pass the users input for the file name to a variable. Then replace the period by using a replace statement that will put an escape in (which should force the period to retain). var passFormat = namePrefix.text; passFormat = passFormat.replace(".", "\."); Then use the variable passFormat in your file name statement ...

As I mentioned...yes it will give you a corrupted PDF file. The file being created is just a file. Not an actual native PDF.
