Welcome to the Brainery @ameliarudd96 !

Hopefully our resident JavaScript expert @lizlarsen will be along to chime in on this….

var name = this.documentFileName;

this.getField(“fieldname“).value = name;

Alternatively if it needs to be split into multiple outputs it might look something like:

var name = this.documentFileName;

var parts = name.replace(“.pdf”, “”).split(“_”);

var projectNum = parts[0];

var projectName = parts[1];

this.getField(“ProjectNo”).value = projectNum;

this.getField(“ProjName”).value = projectName;

This of course is if you are using the same identifier to split the Number and name in the doc title, i.e. “_” in this case

Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have anything else!

Thank you! That’s great – I kinda sorta have it working but the file name is grabbing from the stamp’s file name rather than the document i am inputting into (I should’ve specified this….) what would be the alternative field?

Also – is there a document where I can find the names of these fields?

Thanks again!!

Played with this a little more, sorry, haven’t messed with stamps before, it should use an event callout that way it knows which file it’s looking at. Here is an example of the basic submittal approval stamp that’s built in to Revu, but modified to pull that File name. Check out the “getProjectNoFromDocName();” callout and function at the end. Let me know if this works, and if more issues, we may have to see the specific stamp file to help.

var builder =

{

// These map to Text Fields in the Stamp

textBoxes :

[

{ field: “Other – Description”, description: “Other – Description:”, default: function() { return “”; } },

{ field: “CheckedBy”, description: “Checked by:”, default: function() { return Collab.user; } },

{ field: “Date”, description: “Date:”, default: function()

{

var curDate = new Date();

return (curDate.getMonth() + 1) + “/” + curDate.getDate() + “/” + curDate.getFullYear();

}

},

{ field: “Submittal”, description: “Submittal #:”, default: function() { return event.source.source.documentFileName; } },

{ field: “Project”, description: “Project:”, default: function() { return getProjectNoFromDocName(); } }

],

// This maps to a Radio Group in the PDF named ‘Type of Submittal’

radioGroup : “Document Type”,

radioButtons :

[

// value maps to the ‘Choice’ of each radio button in the group, description will show on the dialog

{ value: “SubmittalForApproval”, description: “Submittal For Approval” },

{ value: “Resubmittal”, description: “Re-Submittal For Approval” }

],

checkBoxes :

[

{ field: “Approved” },

{ field: “Rejected” },

{ field: “Revise” },

{ field: “Not Reviewed” },

{ field: “Other” }

]

};

function getProjectNoFromDocName() {

var docName = event.source.source.documentFileName; // Access the document name correctly

return docName.slice(0, 4); // Grab the first four characters

}

That worked!!! I have been scratching my brain for weeks….. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer 🙂 very exciting for us!

[Isaac Harned]

No worries, I’m glad it worked out! Not to make myself look like a loser but a lot of my answers come from GPT 🤣 If you guys ever struggle with this, just ask it questions based on “Adobe PDF JavaScript”. There are a few methods that don’t work in Revu, but with a little troubleshooting and back and forth with the bot, but that usually gets me pretty close to what I need.

this loser has been trying with chatGPT and still couldn’t figure it out until you helped… good to know that it runs on adobe because i found zero information RE bluebeam. thanks again!
