Hi there! 

I used to use a JavaScript to insert a footer with the documentname. 
After the last update from acrobat this script does not work anymore. 

How can i insert a footer with the documentname? 
Its possible to insert the date like <<t/m>> 

There must be a variable for the documentname as well? 

Thx a lot!

    Oh, ok 🙂 

    Hm, the script I used stopped working. At least I cannot find the menu of the script anymore... 


    To go back to the old UI click the Options button at the top left corner (Windows) or open the View menu (Mac) and select Disable New Acrobat.

    What script did you use? It should still work the same, if it did before.

    And yes, the file name can be accessed using this.documentFileName .

    However, note that if you add it to a footer that is not dynamic, if you rename the file it will no longer show the correct name.

    No, that's not what I meant. You have to use a script to be able to create the watermark text using this code.
