The use of javascript to save a pdf file in a different directory and generating a new file based on the form fields in the document name.

I built the following script to create a submit button that will automatically save the document in a different directory on my computer. It will also use data form 'customer' field and 'date' to generate the file name. I printed the myPath variable, and it seems that he printed the correct string. I get the following error:

TypeError: redeclaration of const path

any help would be appreciated.

var customer = this.getField("Customer").value;

var date = this.getField("Date").value;

var path = "C:/users/lead/My Documents/Test / '.

Reg = date.match(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/ var);

var myPath = "C:/users/lead/My Documents/Test /" client + '_' + reg [1] + "." + reg [2] + "." +

Reg [3] + ".pdf";

this.saveAs (myPath);

Thank you. It turns out that simply remove this additional path variable does the job. I used that in an earlier version of my code and I forgot that this is. My syntax also seems to be right.

  • Save a PDF file cannot be modified, losing the file HAVE changed.

    It's great that illustrator can edit PDF files and it's great that Illustrator can record on a non editable PDF. But why, for the love of sanity, I would like to save a PDF file cannot be modified, but then have the original file, currently open HAVE disappear leaving only this little pointless PDF file? I STILL want the file HAVE to remain the main current job file original. But it doesn't work.

    Or if, for some reason I can't understand, this behavior is necessary, and right, then at least it should show unequivocally that I am to modify a PDF file cannot be modified and strongly suggest to me that I might want to save an editable PDF or HAVE a file, or even do it automatically until I close the file (or Illustrator crashes as it is wont to do).

    I'm working on a file HAVE and I need to save a small file of WIP not editable for the customer display. I go to file - save as-> PDF / smaller file size / uncheck "preserve Illustrator editing capabilities". I send the PDF file to the client and continue to work and save, assuming that I'm working on the original. The file looks and behaves exactly as it did until I taped that, intuitively, I guess that is the file HAVE same, original, with the PDF file in a copy. However, when I come back the next morning, after having closed the file, only the low resolution not editable PDF file remains. The file doesn't help, and I have to redo all the work all the way back to the last time, I saved the file I saved the PDF.

    Much trouble, loss of hair, the time wasted, face Palm trees, etc.

    The thing is, I now /know/ does and I'm going out of my way to avoid it happening, but in the race at the end of the work and send commands to the client and manage multiple versions of files, it still happens. Now clearly this is my fault, but heck, Illustrator could behave much more usefully in this regard!

    Well, I must be missing something, I guess.

    I asked how "save a copy...". "is the way lasts, and you replied that you were referring to not using Save a Copy... So I re - submit that by using Save a Copy is the solution to your original problem.

    • Work in Illustrator; number of objects; several layers, live effects, etc.
    • Want a copy of WIP for the customer as you have described originally...
    • Choose file > save a copy... Format is not question could make no editable PDF, raster format, whatever...
    • Continue to work in Illustrator... under a State record which is absolutely no different than if I had never done the Save a Copy... There is no "silent dump' edit-ability or any such similar event. If I record, I save it HAVE original, or a new if the State was not saved.

    I have seen discussions on how to change your own settings of Firefox for poster correctly PDF files (documents to look at a PDF in Firefox 19 +) However, I'm looking for a solution on how to save a PDF file so that they display correctly in the new default Firefox reader.

Meet them all parameters within the Acrobat Distiller is going to fix this without the Viewer to enter their own arrangements?

    Hmm, not a subtle difference.

    We did not have many experts PDF or Adobe Illustrator users post advice here; those who might be sprinkled around on other forums, blogs or support sites.

    I noticed when you view the properties of the PDF in Adobe Reader that the PDF has been created with optimization for active fast Web view. This is a feature that allows the progressive rendering of PDF files over a slow connection (http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-native-pdf-file-sizes.html#...). You can try to re - generate the PDF file with this feature turned off to see if that makes a difference?

    Hi mwebsterdps-sc,.

    Try this: -.

    The default "Save as" dialog Acrobat DC is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Edit menu access-> Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:

    I would like to know if it works.

  • How to save a PDF file in order to open them up to the 100% instead of 177% zoom?

    Currently all of the PDF files I record 177% still open. It is not very legible and requires users to zoom in to 100% in order to see the entire document.

  • additional window opens each time I want to save a pdf file

    Hello

    I use adobe acrobat reader on a windows 7 Professional laptop (lenovo) dc.

    It's really annoying that every time I wanto to save a pdf file, it opens this additional window where I am asked to choose a carpet for the file. Then, there are 4 different mats, I have used it before and then opens the normal window where I can actually save the file. I just want to cancel the first step, because it takes so long if there's always a step more before the Save.

    can someone help me with this problem?
