I added the try infront of the code, I get a few errors:

The type or namespace name 'Process' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) 
The name 'tempFolder' does not exist in the current context
The name 'Filename' does not exist in the current context
The name 'ProcessWindowStyle' does not exist in the current context

Ok, add this namespace in front of the code :

using System.Diagnostics;

For  'tempFolder' and 'Filename', you have to replace that by your own path and filename.

It doesn't like when I change the values of 'tempFolder' and 'Filename'

If I use:

this.CurrentView.Export(@"\\SHARE\test.pdf", Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.ExportFormat.Pdf);

Is it possible to pull the filename from a field value in the form or maybe todays date and time instead of using 'test' ?

Hi, Yes you can use a field value instead of 'tempFolder' and 'Filename'

I update the code to fit with 'test.pdf'.

            try
            {
                Process objP = new Process();
                //open the pdf file
                objP.StartInfo.FileName = @"\\SHARE\test.pdf";
                objP.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; //Hide the window.
                objP.StartInfo.Verb = "print";
                objP.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;//!! Don't create a Window.
                objP.StartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
                objP.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
                objP.StartInfo.Arguments = "/t /h \""+"\\SHARE\test.pdf";
                objP.Start();
                objP.Close();
            }
            catch
            { } 

Hi ,

So if I want to use a field in my form called "Lastname" with a value of "Smith", how can I force the form to automatically replace "test.pdf" with "Smith.pdf" ?

 Hi, for that you can use:

           string Filename = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("Xpath", this.NamespaceManager).Value;

You have to replace Xpath by your own for that right click on your field on"Data source" and click copy Xpath, after at you paste it in the code.

 After that, you have to replace all your hardcoded path like:

this.SaveAs(@"\\ServerName\Share\test.xml");

by

this.SaveAs(@"\\ServerName\Share\" + Filename + ".xml");

Using the export to PDF...how do I use the field name instead of test.pdf

Here is my code:

this.CurrentView.Export(@"\\Sharename\Folder\test.pdf", Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.ExportFormat.Pdf);

How can I change the exported file name to automatically use a field in my form called Fullname?  So say my field name value is Jane Smith, can I make the form be named Jane Smith.pdf?

I got it to work:

string Filename = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:BaseTemplateFields/my:FullName", this.NamespaceManager).Value;
            this.CurrentView.Export(@"\\Sharename\Folder\" + Filename + ".pdf", Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.ExportFormat.Pdf);

Thanks again for all your help!.

Is there a way I can have this form submit as a PDF document to a SharePoint library instead of a network share?
