Is there a way to automatically insert the "filename" in the footer/header?  
IE in Word {FILENAME} does the trick.

Hi Rick,

If you are looking to create PDFs automatically and then place the original
document's file name somewhere on the PDF, we are working on a way to do
that with our OctoPDF software from JBM Systems.  Our commercial solution
will utilize a new piece of software, OctoForms, which would allow the
placing of the filename anywhere on the document, while OctoPDF does the
actual PDF creation and file name recognition.  This is a server based
solution and aimed at atuomatic, batch and volume applications.  The server
can acess data from Unix, Linux, AIX, S/390, AS/400, Mac, and Windows
platforms. Give me a call or email if you'd like to get into more detail.
Good Luck,

You could insert a form field with a custom calculation

var e = event.target
var P = this.path.split("/")
e.value = P[P.length-1]

Will this work for 6.0 Standard?

Acrobat Standard has no forms tool, so you can't add any fields or
JavaScript.
