Header and Footer - Document Title

[Kcabien]

Hi I would like to create an action wizard which inserts the pdf document name in the header of the scanned pdf document.

I have noticed that when you enter the page number command it uses << >> signs to read the text as a command.

What is the command that needs to be written in the header or footer to insert the pdf document title / name i.e. the highlighted in this example, title.pdf

There isn't one. You will need to do it using a script.

By the way, I've developed an advanced version of the Add Header/Footer command that allows you to do that (among many other things), but it can't be used as a part of an Action (although that's probably something I could add for you, if you're interested).

You can find it here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat/Reader -- Advanced Add Header/Footer Text

Adobe specifies in their online help that the title can be part of the headers.

Below is the link...

Add headers, footers, and Bates numbering to PDFs, Adobe Acrobat

How can that be done without a script?

I can't speak for them, but I think they mean you can add it manually... I don't see a way of doing it automatically with the built-in command.

This is pretty simple: please see this video:

This will not work in Adobe Acrobat.

You can find a free Action here that creates header/footer

https://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/

It's called The File Name Stamper

You can get a more sophisticated version of this here:

but it's not free.
