Inserting filenames in a PDF

You can do it (almost) with a script. There's no JS function to create header/footer entries per se, but you can create a scripted watermark, which in PDF terms is the same thing.

For example this script will put the filename (only) in the bottom center of every page:

this.addWatermarkFromText({
cText: this.documentFileName,
nTextAlign: app.constants.align.center,
nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.center,
nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom,
nFontSize: 12,
nVertValue: 12});


For details on all the parameters, see the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.

Hi vsavell,

Yes, totally doable. There is an Action for automating that process in the Actions Exchange here at AUC. You can find it at-

Hope this helps,
