How to make Title same as file name in Document Properties

There are 3 docuemnt properties in version 7 that contain the file name.

this.path is the full path to the file in version 3.01 and above

this.URL is the full url to the file in version 5 and above

this.documentFileName is the file name and extension in version 7 and above

To see what these methods reutrn and how to split the properties, run the following commands in the JavaScript Debugger:


this.info.Title will access the meta data title field

So in version 7 one can use in the batch sequence to add the file name less the file extension:


Versions prior to 7 can use:

Thank you that did the trick!!! You have save me many hours of work and much hair loss. Thank you so much!!

Is there someplace where this type of code is documented or where there are preset tasks such as this that you can copy/paste when needed?

Here are some of the resouces I use:

In my Acrobat 8 plugin (C++) i need to make Title same as file name in Document Properties.
Can you please advice what API to use? Is there any code example?
Thank you.

Here is what I did. Under the Advanced Menu, Document Processing, Batch Processing, choose New Sequence and give your sequence a name. In the Edit Batch Sequence box click Select Commands and from the list that appears on the left choose Execute JavaScript and Add it to the list on the right. Double-click Execute JavaScript after it appears in the panel on the right and a window opens asking you to enter the script. Copy and past the following:

var aDocumentFileName = this.documentFileName.split("."); // make document file name an array
this.info.Title = aDocumentFileName[0]; // make title the file name

Click Ok and then Ok again to take you back to the Edit Batch Sequence box. Choose the options you want for Run Commands On, Select Output location and Output Options and then click OK. Now you are back to the Batch Processes dialog box and ready to run the new process on your files. Select your newly created Sequence from the list and click Run Sequence and navigate to the files you want to change. Note that the files cannot be open in Acrobat in order to run the Batch Processing function on them.

Hope that helps!

No, nothing…
