Using Scribe to save users completed PDF

[Charles Delfs]

I would like to use Scribe to pre-populate a PDF then save it again automatically (Either the field contents or the whole pdf if I must.

 

Process Flow:

 

I see scribe can pre populate a PDF really easily;  great.

Then the user would add additional data that was not in the DB

Then when user was done FMP would save the PDF and extract the additional fields, or even just save the PDF.

 

The issue I see is that there is no way to force a save of the document so that Scribe can extract the field contents. 

It would appear that the user would have to do a 'Save As' then Tell FMP what the new filename was for everything to continue.

 

Someone must have an elegant work around to force the save (windows platforms BTW) or perhaps not require the save at all?

 

Thanks for the help all
