This is the section for the save script; I've removed the names for the desktop section along with the location of their desktops
//created by Daryl Smith
//opens a window that shows the different save options with radio buttons for save as is or save with new name
//and it has two check boxes so that the user can choose to save a copy to their desktop and/or a copy to the print folder
//for the direct to screen printer.

THIS IS THE AREA WHERE THE NAMES AND LOCATIONS OF THE USERS DESKTOPS WOULD GO, GLOBAL ARTIST IS A VARIABLE THAT IS ENTERED WHEN ILLUSTRATOR
FIRST OPENS AND IS USED BY A LOT OF THE OTHER SCRIPTS. saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions(); saveOpts.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT6; saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true; saveOpts.preserveEditability = true; thisDoc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts ); }//end if }//end function }//end if checkbox2
The two scripts for the save old name and save new name are exactly what it sounds like, one saves it with its current name and the other has a prompt for the name to be entered.
