File Name Stamper

Question

Hello All,
I am using: http://acrobatusers.com/assets/uploads/actions/File_Name_Stamper.pdf
It works great for one file. But for multiple files, a popup dialog box keeps showing up. Our small non-profit organization is processing 1000+ files and pressing the enter key is cumbersome.
The actual JavaScript code is below. Is there a way to disable the popup dialog box?
Many thanks...

There are a number of simpler ways to do this. Thom's Action is great, but sounds like it might be overkill for this. Text can be added a numer of ways, including a form field, text annotation, layer (aka Watermark, as with Thom's script), and stamp. It can also then be flattened so it gets converted to regular page contents, preventing the user from interacting with it and perhaps changing it. Which you choose depends on you needs. If you provide a bit more description, I could suggest a simpler script you can use.
Also, please clarify exactly what you want included. Do you want just the file name (example.pdf), the file name without the extension (example), or the complete path (c:\dir1\dir2\example.pdf)?
