A technicla type question

ASPathName pathName = ASFileSysCreatePathName(fileSys, pathType, myNewPath, NULL); //Open the PDF file
avDoc = AVDocOpenFromFile(pathName, fileSys, titleText); //Do some clean up
sprintf( jsscript, "importMHCXFAData(\"%s\",\"%s\");",myDataFileName, fileInfo);

rcvalue=AFExecuteThisScript( pdDoc, jsscript, NULL);

TiffSave(cFile)
{
this.SaveAs(cFile);
}

Look at the documentation of the JavaScript saveAs method.

[PDL@adobeforums.com]

It would only need to be a trusted function if you don't want the Save As dialog displayed to the user. If you don't mind the user selecting the location and filename, there is no need for a trusted function.

[Leonard_Rosenthol@adobeforums.com]

Also, you can just call this.saveAs() directly from your plugin - no need to create the full function in JS...

I see -

This is good - Thank you.

apparently - it can also be done using AVDocDoSaveAs - if I understand correctly ...

I am trying to do this so the user does not need to specify anything more than the intention to save the information .

I am trying to see which will suit my needs best ...
Can you identify where i can locate the javascript - reference -

I checked the core API reference at ([url]http://www.datalogics.com/pdf/doc/Version6.1/CoreAPIReference.pdf)and[/url] I couldnt find any documentation for the javascript functions there -

All documentation - plug-in API reference, IAC API reference, JS API reference - can be found at the following link:

if I call this.saveAs();
directly from the plugin - which sounds good to me
will there be a dialog issued ?
I would like this to be silent .
I can execute an AVAlert - if needed .

This was the syntax specified for SDK 7.0 ... in the docuemtnation that I found at the above mentioned link .

is this still the current syntax for saveAS() - in SDK 9.0 ?

this.saveAs({ cPath: "http://www.example.com/WebDAV/myDoc.pdf", bPromptToOverwrite: true,
cFS: "CHTTP" });

[michael_eisenman@adobeforums.com]

I think I prefer this though - a shorter, kinder version - using all defaults -

this.saveAs("/c/myDocs/myDoc.tif", "com.adobe.acrobat.tiff");

[PDL@adobeforums.com]

in the docuemtnation that I found at the above mentioned link .




That link was for SDK 9 documentation.

[michael_eisenman@adobeforums.com]

Thanks PDL

I am using SDK 9.0
I happened to notice that the syntax reference that I sited from that doucumentation for SaveAs - indicated that it was for SDK 7.0 -
I assumed that it was still valid for 9.0 -
as it didn't mention any changes, etc.

I think i get it - and i'll try a few things to see what works,, etc ..
If I can't seem to make it all happen -
I'll be right back here - where the real help is
:)

Cheers

Are you talking about in the parameters where it says "(optional, Acrobat 7.0)"? That actually means that specific parameter wasn't added until Acrobat 7, since as you can see from the first box of the QuickBar that saveAs has been available since Acrobat 5.0.

It can be a confusing setup at first, but it does make sense once you get used to it. The more information you're trying to convey, the harder it is to keep it simple and succinct.

[michael_eisenman@adobeforums.com]

Yes - that is the line - I am referring to.

I was assuming that since it was added in SDK 7.0 and there isn't a corresponding line that says that it has been removed in 8.0 or 9.0 that it is still current syntax for the SDK.
