Creating a Save As button in LiveCycle Designer

I use LiveCycle Designer to create electronic PDF forms for our clients to use.

One draw back is creating a Save As button.

Using LiveCycle Designer, open your document and create a button from the library. Using the Object Field's Caption option, rename it "Save As".

To add the Save As script, the user must first turn on the Script Editor (Window menu / Script Editor). This will open the editor across the top of the page.

While the button is selected go to the editors first field and from the pull down select "MouseUp"

In the second field we will type in our Script: app.execMenuItem("SaveAs")

For the third field labeled Language use the pull down menu and select "JavaScript".

For the fourth field called Run At: select "Client".

Save the form.

Now when clients fill out the form and hit Save As they are given a choice of renaming the document.

I hope you all find this helpful,
