    This can be done with scripts, see and download here one that works

    Illustrator Script to add a Date and Time to your file » Blog » FashionClassroom.com

    if you want something more automated you can try a plugin called Tag72a from this site

    Tag72a for Adobe Illustrator - Macintosh

    I have used this for a long time and works so good

    Possible with scripting:

    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;

    var aTF = aDoc.textFrames.add();

    aTF.contents = aDoc.name;

    aTF.position = [20, -50];

    Save as *.jsx in Illustrator Scripts folder and

    Have fun
