Add User Name to Indesign CS3

Question

We are printing lots of indesign CS3 documents to a number of laser printers. I have taken the Date and time option and changed PM and AM to the initials of the user of that computer. Makes it easier for someone to grab files from printer and return them to user. Problem is .... Does not work 100% of the time.... Is it possible to have an applescript to put users name somewhere on page outside the cropping area???

Answer 1

Hi Dave,
This simple script creates a text frame below the first page outside the cropping area and inserts the user name (File > User...) into it.
I assume that ruler units are set to millimeters, page size to Letter, bleed - 5 mm.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set myName to user name
set myDoc to active document
tell page 1 of myDoc
  set myTextframe to make new text frame with properties {contents:myName, geometric bounds:[290, 0, 300, 50]}
end tell
end tell
