File name to Dynamic Stamp

Would anyone know how to stamp the file name using JavaScript to my dynamic stamp in Acrobat.

Community Expert

From inside a stamp script the "this.documentFileName" will return the name of the stamp file, not the name of the file being stamped.

Use this code in a calculation script on the stamp to put the name of the file being stamped into the field.

event.value = event.source.source.documentFileName;

This is code is undocumented. You can read all about it here:

If I'm correct, you know how to create dynamic stamps? If not read here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/create-custom-dynamicstamp.html

The JavaScript for getting a document's name is:

this.documentFileName

Saved to dynamic stamps but it did not fill in filename, remains blank. Only edited the script to remove the filetype. what's missing?

event.value = event.source.source.documentFileName.replace(/\.pdf$/i, "");
