Is there a way to paste the File name into the document

[BryanPagenkopf]

Hello,

Is there a script out there that can add the file name file name within the artboard of illustrator?  If that's possible, I'd like to add the text "Order# " and drop the file extension.  Then place it aligned Left and Bottom to the art.  In a specific font and size.

Does anyone know if/how this could be done?

Thank you!

Hey, just have a text frame wherever you want it with the correct font size, etc in it and ensure it's named a name that we can later reference such as "file_name".

Then you can use:

app.activeDocument.textFrames["file_name"].contents = "Order# " + app.activeDocument.name.replace(".ai", "");

place these lines in front of Silly-V​ code

var aTF = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
aTF.name = "file_name";
aTF.rotate(90);
aTF.position = [app.activeDocument.artboards[0].artboardRect[0], app.activeDocument.artboards[0].artboardRect[3]];

… and have fun
