Hi,

I have created an Interactive form for approval process,
The form will be sent to first person for approval, on his approval, the form will be again moved to next person for second approval.

The thing is i want to capture the User name along with time and date of approval, i can get the time, but kindly help me how to get the user name (windows user name) who is currently processing the form.

Thanks and Regards,

The 'signatureinfo' in Acrobat JavaScript has the 'name' property that will provide the name of the signor and the date and time signed from a signature field.

The only other option is to use the 'identity' object, but the only required property is the 'loginName' and the 'name' property is optional and is entered or changed through the editing of the applications preferences, so it could easily be changed and thus is unreliable. Since you will need to install a folder level JavaScript to capture the identity object upon initialization of Acrobat/Reader.
