Question
Using pitstop pro 9 in acrobat full version 9 I am trying to write pitstop action to do following with no luck. Take document filename add this as text mark in the slug area of my print ready PDFs. Sounds simple but I can't work it out. Can you help?

Answer
Hi Lee,

There is an Action already in the Action List that should do what you are looking for.

Open the Action List window, open the Standard List folder, under Document and Pages, choose Attach Footer. You should be able to copy this into your Local Lists and edit it to suit your need.

Thanks,
