Hi

Am i able to know which user is logged in into a machine (windows authenticated ) ? i know that in .NET we do this:

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString()

i need to have the user id to send it from my pdf...

thanks

In Acrobat you can use JavaScript to identify the user.

identity.loginName;

or

console.println("Your name is " + identity.name);

But this method is restricted and can only be executed through a folder level script, batch or console event.

The only way to have access to this without an extra script is a stamp.
