Re: Computer & User Name (Environment Variables)

The computer name isn't available from Acrobat JavaScript, and the user's name is only accessible through a privileged object. 

If this a script that needs to be in a PDF, then it really can't be done.  However, if you can place it in a Folder Level Script, you can get the user's name from the "identity" object.
