I need to print the filename to my pdf (in the header or footer).
I'm using Adobe Reader, but i can also use Foxit pdf reader or anyother free pdf reader.
Is it possible to do this?

To the late googlers, I made a program that will do this for free, sourcecode included:

Yes, you can use Adobe Reader by writing a filename in notes:
- Add a Sticky note
- Write a filename
- Go to Comments and then to the option icon
- Go to Comments preferences
- Mark "Print notes and pop-ups".
I'm using portuguese written Adobe Reader, so it maybe not be exactly like an english one.
0I have no experience with Foxit, however I can confirm this capability does not exist in Adobe Reader.
It is very simple in Adobe Acrobat, if you can access that software. Tools->Header and Footer->Add Header and footer.
if you are willing to use a commercial application:
- Go to the Get More Editor
- Click "Insert text with parameters"
- Add "Print job name"

I know this may be a bit of a late response:
Irfanview is a image editor and PDF viewer. I have been using it for various reasons for 15 years or more, most recently to convert PDF pages to JPG format.
In the Print dialog (when printing a PDF) you can add a header with $D for directory and $F for filename to print the directory and filename automatically. These options will apply to subsequent prints of new files until removed by the user.
Happy Printing!
Using PDF Reader:
- Click the [Sign] option (fountain pen)on the top toolbar.
- Click in your document where you want to put the file name (you may have to click twice), and then type the text. You can also make your text larger/smaller, expand it, insert a bullet, etc.
- You can then select [Next] and save your document with the text added, or just print the file.
