Seems like your issue is not resolved yet and taking long time...
I have reviewed your code and made modifications. I believe I have addressed all of your issues. See comments.
1. Now the code addresses the issue of multiple text frames being created with SaveInfo details.
2. The text frame with SaveInfo details actually will now be added into the layer named SaveInfo. I think it was not achieved in your code.
3. You can now address any number of documents. I have handled it in the eventlistener to capture the target document. This is simple.
4. Naming the textframe issue is also fixed. Simple approach. You can check the code.
Let me know if all is well.
