Identity Object

Last updated: June 2026

This object holds information about the current user who is logged onto the machine using Nitro PDF Pro. You can view this information in Settings as well.

Example: This JavaScript gets the login name of the user and stores it in a global variable (called login) that can be used by any other JavaScript. Because the identity object is only permitted during the console, menu, application initialization and batch events, this would be ideal to be in a folder level JavaScript file (.js) that was executed when the application starts.

global.login = identity.loginName;
