Saving/naming forms issue


does know can this? client, medical practice, trying save forms in rather interesting way. have charts divided different sections or tabs such progress notes, patient info , more. these charts have been scanned, separated tab , placed onto shared network drive employees within practice view.
this practice has gotten creating new forms using acrobat, eliminates need create more paper. problem each employees saving these forms differently, in different locations well, , it's huge mess.
the file name they'd these chart sections saved follows format:

last name_first name_date of birth_section of chart_date of service_initials of person created form

so, if patient's name jeff hansen, date of birth 7-30-1982, section progress notes, date of service 12-12-1997 , initials hm, file name this:

hansen_jeff_07-30-1982_pn_12-12-1997_hm

with me far?

what is, after someone's done form , click save as, they'd pop up:

last name:
first name:
dob:
tab:
dos:
initials:

they able fill out these fields appropriate info, exception of tab , initials, drop-down lists.

after these have been filled out , file name has been created, want form saved in specific folder-the same folder every time. right now, there's files on place on drive , it's mess.

does have idea how heck can this? seriously? idea ideal! don't know of how can create save function using acrobat or livecycle designer. please help!

you need create special trusted function using acrobat javascript , place code in 1 of acrobat's application level javascript folders perform "saveas" method. able call trusted function livecycle designer. depending upon how write specific function pass file name or have function query name. see, http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=16903 , "how "saveas" filename generated form field?" example of necessary code.

you need write code use acrobat javascript "dialog" object pop-up , gathering necessary data , generating necessary file name. might want at, http://www.windjack.com/products/acrodialogs.html, windjack solutions' acrodialogs product , create dialog pop-up.

neither of these scripts simple programing task.
