I have an XFA form that was built with LiveCycle and I'm trying to write Adobe javascript that will export the form's data to an XML file each time a user manually saves the file in Acrobat. Preferably this functionality is easily shareable since I'll have clients that need to have this ability.
I'm a novice but it seems that the Interactive Objects are all grayed out and so I can't add a custom button. Therefore I'm hoping to bind the exportXFAData(); method to the saveAs event. When a user either does CTRL+S or File>Save (As) .. the XML should be exported to the Desktop.
It seems I need to use either the exportXFAData() or exportAsXFDF() method. I found something that says: " It is a straightforward process to do this using the Doc object saveAs method.... " and provided this code:
this.saveAs("/c/temp/test.xml", "com.adobe.acrobat.xml-1-00");
I'm not sure where to write this code, or if it needs to be adapted (besides the path) to accomplish what I've requested above.
Thank you greatly,
Carl
