Dynamic Watermarks

Question

Is it possible to add a dynamic watermark to a PDF? For instance, I would like to place a mark for a class that I'm taking and then add the filename of the PDF that I'm viewing so when I print it out I will know what I'm looking at. I would like the watermark to look something like this:

ClassName—<filename> (where <filename> would be the dynamic marker for the PDF file name). I would like to save this as a custom watermark to apply to a folder full of documents so I don't have to type in the file name for each file.

The fact that I can't find any way to do this makes me think that this functionality does not exist in Acrobat, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas anyway.

Thanks for any guidance,

Michael

Try the "File Name Stamper" tool here (it's free):https://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/

You need to explain how this "watermark" should work. For example, if the name of the file is changed after you add the watermark, do you expect it to reflect that change? If so, it can't be a watermark, as those are static. However, it can be done using a script that populates a simple text field, for example.
