trouble with saveAS

[smde@adobeforums.com]

I am having a problem with a javascript function.

I can save as a Tiff with no problem -
but now I would like to have another option that allows my users to save data as a PDF file.

I can't seem to get it to work for a PDF file.

The save as TIFF syntax - works fine ..
CODE SNIPPET HERE !
<this.saveAsFile,"com.adobe.acrobat.tiff"); >

I have tried leaving out a conversion that doesn't work .
I have tried preflight conversions - they don't work - bcause the preflight dll is non-existent .

is there an easy solution that I am overlooking ?

Well, the syntax for saveAs in Acrobat JavaScript is actually

this.saveAs(path, conversionID)

So try that syntax, unless you have a folder-level function defining "saveAsFile", in which case we'd need to see that function to know what's going on.

I am actually already using htis command and it is working for the TIFF conversion - but in the case of saving as a PDF - I do not know what conversion to use -

Typo in original post shoud read as :

<this.saveAs(File,"com.adobe.acrobat.tiff"); >

Sorry .

Just using

this.saveAs(file);

with no conversion ID works for me. The file you're trying to save as a PDF is already a PDF, right?

Yes - thanks - PDL -
apparently it is an overloaded function - and I was thinking that it always needed two arguments.

It works fine - thanks

Cheers
