I know how to get the view name on the sheet, no problem. My question is about showing the view name on the view itself. My workflow sometimes involves printing some views and schedules, so I can see them all together on individual sheets. I sit at a big table away from the computer, compare details among all the views and mark them up with a pencil. When finished, I either perform the edits at the computer or have it done. The problem is the time-waster of hand-printing the view names on the printed sheets so I can keep track of them. Today I have thirty-plus sheets. I would like to paste a family in the view. Even better if I could associate the family visibility to a global parameter to shut them all off when printing sheets. Any ideas? Thanks.
I think you will have to use a generic annotation and enter the view name manually or using Dynamo.
A generic annotation family that is, with an instance parameter in label for the view name to input manually/using Dynamo. You could add a visibility parameter in the family and associate that to a global on/off parameter in type properties (right click in project browser).

It depends on the PDF Editor you are using...some commercial editors support adding/printing Tokens and Metadata allowing user to add stamps to PDF documents such as Path/File Name/Date/Author....etc
From Revit Print Menu, select "Create Separate Files." Appends view name to the specified file name...then from the PDF Editor you can add the stamp (in this case the file name - view name)
ALTERNATIVELY
You can write your own C# to stamp PDF automatically or you can download a free one similar to the one shown below

It appears to be an extremely intermittent issue since it took almost two years to get a clarification.
