overwrite saved file adobe acrobat



I have a form that has to be saved twice, once as incomplete form and the second as the completed form. Is it possible to overwrite/delete the first incomplete file after completing the form so that I wouldn't have 2 forms after the whole process?



I've thought of using javascript but I'm not sure how to go about it.

You can use...


this.saveAs(this.path());



...to save the file and overwrite the existing version. However, the method can only be executed during a batch or console event or some other privileged context. You'll need to reference the Acrobat JavaScript documentation to decide which method of establishing a privileged context will work best for your workflow.
