Show the name of file in PDF file

Hi, hoping for help on what I think is quite a simple question.

I want to create a single blank page PDF file that has a text field automatically and dynamically finished based on the file name of the pdf document. Thus, for example, if the file is named "My sample file.pdf", the pdf file is displayed "My sample file.pdf" and that is all. If I rename the pdf file in Windows Explorer to "My renamed file.pdf", when I then open the renamed "My file.pdf" file appears.

I would then insert this PDF a page in an array of existing pdf files as their new No. 1 page to actually be a title for each page created automatically based on their current file name.

My research suggests that is possible using Javascript in a text field or a form field (although I prefer the text field), however, that I have no experience with Javascript or its implementation of Acrobat, is impossible for me to do. The closest I got is a script that puts the name of the file in the background. Unfortunately this script maintains the new file name that comes to be superimposed on the old watermark of filename, rather that update. For more information the script was: -.

this.addWatermarkFromText({)

cText: this.documentFileName,.

nTextAlign: app.constants.align.center,

nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.center,

nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom,

nFontSize: 12,.

({nVertValue: 12});

Ideally, I'd like the script to remove the file extension and if possible to split the output on two lines based on the file name part preceding / fact following a comma in the name of the file (which she would also deprive). For example, if one had a file named 'my sample file created the Monday.pdf', it would display as: -.

My sample file

created Monday

If anyone has any ideas on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards and thanks in advance.

Add the following JavaScript to the document level:

// Document-level JavaScript code
(function () {

    // Get the file name of this document
    fn = documentFileName;

    // Get rid of the PDF extension
    fn = fn.replace(/\.pdf$/i, "");

    // Replace any comma/space combinations with a carriage return
    fn = fn.replace(/\, /g, "\r");

    // Set the field value
    getField("fn").value = fn;

})();

Replace "fn" in the statement of getField with the name of your multiline text field. This code runs when the form is opened. If you want to be updated when the file is saved, you can also place in case the Document were spared. Note that some operating systems and other things may have a problem with a comma in the name of the file. Underscore would be a safe alternative.

  • After playback of MP3 files, random symbols will then show the name of file in XP

    Basically I'm on Xp, service pack 3 and for a while now, from time to time when I played usually a mp3 or other similar in windows media player, 10 minutes later it will pick a random file from my music folder and add a Japanese symbol at random at the end of the file name.

    Like "be the one" is played, 10 minutes later "be [a]" will now be the file name, only it never appears as the actual symbol, just a square, until you see the name on the windows media playlist where she will be written correctly
    So random, files are defined in the standard. Any help

    Hello again once, yes I ran the scanner.

    My avg updates automatically and I manually ran the update function, and it IS up to date
    I also managed to clear Media Player cache by entering the file manually.
    And as for now the problem disappeared, but as I said earlier, he arrived at random intervals and sometimes takes minutes so he could arrive and sometimes takes weeks. So I'll come back if it comes back. But so far no there no return
    Thank you for your hard work and dedication

  • Can I globally change the names of files and or directory to lowercase to uppercase?

    in Windows XP or in Windows 7, globally change the names of files and or directory to lowercase to uppercase?

    A single configuration change probably will not accomplish this.

    Your best bet is probably the freeware "Bulk Rename Utility" program which has a section dedicated to change the case of file names.

  • Want to copy and paste the names of files only, not the content

    I have organized hundreds of files in several folders of dozens and that you must first create a list or map of all files.  I want only the names of files, not other thing.  I found some freeware that seems designed to do this, but am reluctant to download.  Can it be done without additional software?  If I can't do the regular windows environment, someone suggest what software is the easiest to achieve?

    There are a lot of reliable freeware websites.  What program have you found, and this web site is on?

    To do the work of the normal Windows environment, click Start > all programs > Accessories > command prompt and enter these commands:

    CD /d "" path ".
    dir/b/s >"" file     ".

    where:

    path = full path to the file
       file = name of the file to write

    For example, to create a list of files in My Documents and write it to a file named My Documents.txt :

    CD/d "C:\Documents and Settings\Utilisateur\Mes Documents"
    dir/b/s > "My Documents.txt."

    The /s parameter lists the files in the selected folder and all its subfolders.  The omit if you want just the files in the selected folder. Boulder computer Maven

  • How to export all the names of files in a folder to simple text file.

    Hello Expertise,

    I am trying to load the names of files in the folder to a table in ODI. then load the data from there to a single table.

    I am able to load the data from 100 files in a folder. using the concept of loop (used ODI gurus: SEVERAL FILES - TARGET SINGLE TABLE - SINGLE INTERFACE link to do this, but right now I need to insert the names of files manually to a table. ) My Question is "is there any jython script or procedure to load all the file names to single table with FILENAME column. ???


    If it please help me do this.


    Thank you

    Shakur

    Hi Shakur,

    Yes you are right... The operating system command should be part of the automated process, I mean if you combine these file loading process (Interface, procedure, etc.) in a package of ODI, then the command BONES to get all the names of files in the FOLDER should be one of the steps in the package of ODI. For this, you can use ODI OS command component.

    Kind regards
