Identity.loginName value on all machines

Please look at the Acrobat JS API Reference. This item has had security restrictions placed on it for reasons of security. It can be done but only if the user or the IT staff know it is being done.

Do you think it is a good security practice to tell the whole world you loginID at your work computer?

You just gave out 1/2 of the data needed to break into your computer. Now I may just need to know your favorite sports team, wife's birthday, childern's birthday, dog's name, cat's name, etc.

Hi Gkaiseril,

But what if my client has a requirement where he wants to capture the windows login name of every user who is filling and submitting this form?
You intend to say that as long as I do not place the folder level script on every of these end user systems this thing is not going to work?

Thanks
Lisha

Hi,

you might add a fileld to your document where the user gives his/her initials, name, customer number or so on. Then you can track who has answered to your form. Of course user can give false information...
Windows username is not usually very clear, it can be any string users IT people has given to user in their great wisdom. Sometimes it is two letters of firstname and six letters of surname or vice versa...
like Barack Obama might be 'BAOBAM', 'BARAOB', 'OBAMBA' or 'OBBARA'

If you want the system data and not user input, then yes. You could also require use of an Acrobate digital ID certificate.
