Adding a Button "Save form" and generating the file name with help of the filled in form?

[Bernd]

Hello CenoPDF team,

 

we are working on checklists that should be filled in by users.

So we got the idea that it should be possible to generate the file name automatically with help of the entries in the form.

 

For example, we like to use the entries of "Name", "Job no." and "Date".

At the end of the checklist should be a button "Save form".

 

Is it possbile, that the pdf form will be saved for exmaple with the file nam: "<name>_<job no.>_<date>.pdf" ?

 

Thanky you very much for your help!

Hi Bernd,

 

The Adobe Reader does not allow users to save the filled form into a file. If you use Foxit Reader, you can do what you wanted.

 

In your Save Form button, you can create an event handler for Mouse Up. Then add an action as Javascript. In your script, you can use getField to get the contents of the field and use this.saveAs to save the file.

 

The Javascript reference can be found here:

Thanks,

Yang
