System information - create date, file paths, etc

How do I add system information to the master page of a form so that I can see the create date, last

updated, page numbers and file path information and have it printed on the bottom of each page?

You can access the Doc object that is exposed in the Acrobat JavaScript API.

For example,

var doc = event.target;

xfa.host.messageBox("Author " + doc.author + " Created date " + doc.creationDate + " File path " + doc.URL);

See Doc API reference at
