Use Author and Title of PDF File in a dynamic stamp

Post by jorgenseleit »

I tried to create a dynamic stap which shows fields with the author and the title of the document but did not get the solution.

The Java script I tried

util.printd=this.info.title;

Probably "this" is the formular and not the doucment, why it is not working?

Any solution recommendations?

Hello jorgenseleit,

"this" means "current document" in your JS code, but the issue is not there.
The issue is that "util.printd" means "please use the utility tool for print date" - so that can only be used for date output, not for author output.

If you separate the two - you will get results like these:

Can I have a copy of the stamp file you have created so far?
I should be able to modify it for you to make the two fields in it take the desired values.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Date is working.

Hello jorgenseleit,
Updated Dynamic Stamp.pdf
Thanks for the file.

You will need to use

Code: Select all

event.value = event.source.source.info.title; 
for the field for which you want to display the Author name:

I Managed it now with following solutions

"event.value = event.source.source.info.title; "
To Put the document titel in the formular field

and
"event.value = event.source.source.info.author; "

to put the author in the formular fieald of the stamp.

Thanks for your Help :D
