I have been using this code till now. After running this app in playbook ,The save alertbox is also appearing and also i have gave the static path to save the file, but after saving the file, i can't find the file anywhere in the playbook.

Can Any one please tell me the correct path to save the PDF file in playbook and to access that file.

Your help will be really appreciated,

thank you in advance.

Might want to check your path. It dont see a path like "\\playboo_medi​a\Camera". Assuming you have permission to write to the shared area, just try writing to the documents directory using the File static functions.

Thank you very  much to your response,

I have tried in that , but bad luck i could not find any file saving in that directory.Is there any sample or any other way to save the PDF file onto playbook device.

So if you cannot write any file into the documents directory, then you must not have permission to do so. Have you tried checking the device preferences to verifty that your app has access to that directory?
