Replacing placeholder text in PDF headers with Filename

[Francois0101]

I have 1000's of PDF that all need to have their headers added and modified to show the following:

"Filename" / "Page Number" 

Thus far I have managed to use the Action Wizard in Acrobat DC to get all the headers in the PDF's to show:

xx (Placeholder text) / 1 (using the page number function in headers & footers)

Is there a way to replace the "xx" (placeholder text) with the PDF filename (excl. the ".pdf") in the header using JavaScript? And can this be done in a way to automate it for all the PDF's selected?

How does you add the headers?

Hi Bernd,

I used the Action Wizard and the Add Header & Footer tool.

You need to use a script. For example, you can add a unique (read-only) text field to each page and then apply that text as its value. There's no built-in option of doing that with the Add Header & Footer tool.

For the filename use form text fields or watermarks.

Javascript can't replace the XX.
